First, I finish all the patterns for the center motiv. The next step is to determine the outer edges line and the corners and to mark them.
The area between the center motiv and the outer border is devided into quarters. I mark and quilt the lower left quarter first.
The border patterns are now arranged along the outer edge, also the corner patterns on both sides of the quarter. Because I have marked the quarters of the quilt I also use these lines for adjusting the patterns. Afterwards I fill the remaining area with the grid.
I start the quilting of the first quarter on it's right (vertical) side and quilt from the middle down the edges and the border patterns. Because I already know where the border patterns are I also know where I have to stop with the grid lines! That way I quilt to the left until the quarter is finished.
The next step is the marking of the second quarter - and there you go until the quilting is finished!
You always have to be a little careful with the angles of the grid lines. I use the outer edges I have marked first as guidelines to keep the angle.

Does that make sense for you? :roll:
