More pins and ready to quilt

After the top has been pinned to the batting and backing fabric, you can begin stitching. If desired, you can baste or stitch along the curved edges. You can carefully sttich over the pins during basting. After the top is basted, remove the pins and you are ready to stitch your quilt. I don't usually baste the edges, I prefer to use Continuous Curve quilting in the pieced arches and do the CC, moving the pins as needed until the top arches are quilted in place.
