I understand what you mean (i think) :lol:
If you look at the block image I think what you should do is do the light side of your block first, going in the ditch around the center square first starting in the upper left hand corner, then down the first light rectangle in its upper right corner and then on to the next light rectangle across the block and so on. Occasionally you may have to retrace your steps and you will quilt over something already done, but this will not be noticable if you are careful.
does that make sense? it will be helpful if you trace the path you are going to quilt on a piece of paper, such as graph paper, and either use colors or numbers with arrows to help you remember your path. then paste it up on the wall by your machine for reference. I put a small safety pin in the block center after it is finished.
