You are very right SITD it isn't easy. I have never tried it the way you are describing. So you are saying to stitch down the main seams (ie the seam between the grey and black triangles) then fill in the rest correct? Do you think doing SITD just in the pieced blocks is a bad idea? I really like this quilt and usually the extent of my machine quilting is stipple or SITD. I want to try to branch out more but I dont want to mess it up either.

By doing long lines diagonally across the quilt and then turn the whole quilt and go the opposite way you should have a minimum of turning. After doing that you could then decide what other quilting you want to add.
