Great quilt and wonderful colors. When you stitch ea square across, take a couple of short stitches at the beginning and end of ea square, raise your presser foot and move across next sq to the next ditch, take a couple of tight stitches and stitch that sq. Jump next full sq, stitch next ditch. Does this make sense? Up and down stitch in ditch is one straight sewing line, you might do this first then the across squares. On either way, start in the middle of your quilt and work out. Is this what others would do?

ok, this is kind of what I meant in the chat. please excuse the crappy demonstration, I'm using a paint program, and a laptop mouse :roll: :x
I would quilt where the white lines are
Please excuse the random diagonal line, right near the center :roll:

It's for my daughter. She was going to help me with it but she sewed about two rows of squares and that was it. Now I'm stuck finishing it. Ha! I just hope I can get it quilted. It took me forever to just baste all of it.
