Got the baby quilt all sandwiched together and plan on practicing on some squares. Have a couple questions. I am going to SITD the entire quilt, but the blocks are 6 inch blocks so I will have to do more quilting either in each individual block or in a grid. So, think the easiest design for me with it being my first quilt would be a diagonal grid or a horizontal/vertical grid. I need some opinions on that.
If I do hor/vert grid can i start in the middle at the top and stich to the bottom, turn and stick back up to the other end using long rows and continue until I am done with one side - and then do the other from the center out? Then do the horizontal lines the same way? Or do I need to alternate doing horizontal lines with vertical lines so it won't pucker?
If I do diagonal how do I start? The quilt has turned out to be about
43 inches wide by 53 inches long. Do I just start in the corner and let it rip? How do I measure to make it come out even? How wide should I make the spacing? I think I am scared. You would think this quilt is huge the way I am stressing. Any advice is appreciated.Thank you,
