I have done both. When I do charity quilts I sew straight seams because it is faster. I can do a top in about 2 1/2 or 3 hours , and I am not a fast sewer. If I were to use batiks or something similiar, I would be pickier about the order of colors, and do diagonal seams. It really is a matter of personal preference, and they are wonderful quilts either way.
