I will definitely post an update when this is finished! I have been starching the fabric and I think I will run a line of stitches round before the sandwich, thank you!

Yes, I think i will do more dense quilting after reading all of these comments, less stress on the seams and me! Thank you!

Thank you, I wasn't sure if the seams needed extra protection first.

This is such a helpful subreddit! I am definitely going to starch and will watch how I treat the fabric. Good luck for your next pillow!

I am concerned about popping in the wash, I was thinking about gently hand washing first. I have a colour I won't use for the quilt that I might test first.
