movement on a quilt can be achieved in many ways- it doesn't have to mean the blocks need to be (willy nilly) color placement adds movement- texture adds movement- the quilting itself can add movement-
if you look at the quilt and your eyes travel over the quilt-does not just stop in one area and not see the whole - your quilt has movement- if you like it going top to bottom go with it- our instincts are usually good
sometimes quilt shop employees (think) that (it's their way or your wrong) they are seldom correct unless working on their own quilts- unless you are using someone elses pattern and making a carbon copy-where everyone is making them exactly the same- go with what you like- your quilt is beautiful= and will still be beautiful how ever you decide to do your layout
