I tend to start at a place where I will have less starts and stops whenever possible. If there is a long, continuous line that will take me into another line without stopping, then that's where I start. It's a pain to stop and start, but worth the effort for an intricate pattern. I give you kudos for wanting to try, Flying_V!! I was too chicken to do much but in-the-ditch and all-over patterns for a long time. Go into it understanding that it might take a little while to complete the quilting, and take your time and enjoy the process. :)
