batting - quilting question
Hello... this may be a silly question, but I have never really thought about it before. I FMQ about 95% of my quilts - practice, practice, practice is how I look at it.
At work we are going to adopt a few families for Christmas and I am going to finish up one of my quilt tops that has been sitting around to donate, so my question is not for a quilt to go into a show. This will be just an every day use quilt. I picked up some Morning Glory brand polyester batting at Walmart. The package says to quilt 2" to 4" apart.
Right now I have this quilted with straight lines at a 45 degree angle, 3" apart from corner to corner of the quilt.
Will I need to quilt in the other direction to crosshatch my quilting (into 3" squares) or do you think just this one direction of quilting lines will be fine?
Please let me know what you think. Thanks
