how close
I've been making a simple 9 patch with alternating plain square that has turned out as 4 1/2" blocks. I've done stitch in the ditch but now am contemplating--do I need to do anything within the block? I have used SoftnCrafty 4 oz batting purchased on a roll from JoAnn's. I usually use 4" as my standard but here's this extra 1/2". There is nothing on the bag as recommendation for how far apart quilting should be with this particular batting. I rather like it without cross-hatching, tried a tie in the middle but don't see that it adds anything to the appearance but have concern . Suggestions?
