Dream request -inches apart
I am working on a big quilt with QD request, and I'm wondering about the distance between quilting lines. I know the package says up to 8", but in the past, I've usually gone 2-3 on QD select.
The current project has 3" squares, and the plan had been to run quilting lines 1/4" inside each square. This would make the lines 2 1/2" apart, with the center of the square open, except that the 1/4" lines on either side of the seams would then be 1/2" apart. Will that be stiff? Should I just run1/4" quilting lines on the left side of each square, which would then put them 3" apart? That would hold together through a top-loader washer?
I'm sure I'm overthinking this, but the batting is Really Thin, compared to the "select." Opinions very welcome and thanks!
