I made a t-shirt quilt for a friend and am about to assemble the sandwich and being tying the quilt together.

I have Warm & Natural cotton batting, and the package says quilting can be no more than 10" apart. My squares are 12", so I will need to tie more frequently than just in the corners.

I think it might look weird if I put a tie on the printed part of the design on the block, so wondering what people do to avoid that?

For example, if I want to tie approx every 5", if one of those spots lands on printing, maybe just move it over a smidge and hope it isn't noticeable that the ties are not in perfectly straight lines? Or to heck with it and put a tie in the design print?

I looked for pictures online but all the examples seem to user smaller blocks and the ties are in the intersections of squares and sashing.

Thanks!
