Do you starch your blocks before assembling them. I have used starch and then I forget to. I am doing double slice quilt and thinking I should starch each block. What do you do?

I also starch my fabric before cutting when it needs it, but not pieced blocks. Once your block is pieced you really risk stretching, distorting the block if you spritz the block, with starch, water (steam) or anything else.

I starch a lot. I wash my fabric and then starch it prior to cutting. After I finish a block I starch it again and then when the quilt is completely finished, I give it another good ironing using starch if necessary.
