Hi, Wiggybutt,
You should quilt first and add the binding afterward. Quilting can alter the "lay of the fabric" and if you've already put the binding on, you may have problems.

Re: binding
Another hint - after you have all the quilting done - put the binding on without trimming the backing or batting that is hanging wider than the top. After you have sewn on the binding - then trim off the excess and turn the binding to the back and stitch it down. It makes your binding full and looks better.
