However, would it be okay to stitch in the ditch on the outside border which is all squares and triangles ( about 18 inches all around)??? Thank you for your input.
Of course it is okay! The quilt I made for our first grandchild is a very simple quilt that I machine quilted a diagonal grid on and then did hearts in the borders, I consider it a little extra love from grandma!
Lots of people do both on their quilts.
