Gram2five, I usually straight line quilt either 1" or 2" apart, (2" in this quilt), so I have always figured that was enough, especially since the Warm & Natural batting guidelines are 8-10" (I think!). If your lines were further apart, doing some crossways lines might be a good idea. I have never had an issue with one, but I have only been quilting about 2 years, so I am no expert on this!
