The facts: 10" blocks... the instructions say to quilt a big "X" across each block... an experienced quilter at a favorite LQS suggested I might quilt in the ditch prior to the criss-cross quilting, and I like that idea.
The question: I know I should start in the middle of the quilt and work my way out. I'm thinking I should change directions every row. Should I quilt all of the horizontal ditches and THEN the vertical ditches... OR... should I quilt 3-5 horizontal ditches, then some vertical, then horizontal... you get the picture...
OR... does it matter?
Please help? I'm very excited to start quilting for the FIRST time!!
THANKS in advance to all who help!!
