I've never really understood this concept. What would happen (to the batting) if there was no quilting in the sashings or borders? I've frequently left borders or sashings unquilted. In fact the rule would pretty much rule out any all vertical quilting (etc) and imply there always has to be some 90 degree quilting as well. Another row of quilting in the sashing would still not resolve the "in all directions" requirement, would it? What am I missing?

I understand that extra quilting might look nice...
