When buying the batting, be sure to check the manufacturer's recommendation for quilting distance required for that particular batt. Lovely quilt!
Yes, about a quarter inch from the seams. Much easier that trying to stay in the ditch! Your machine should have a guide that floats over the fabric to keep your spacing consistent. You can also mark it first if you don't have the guide. I personally like the blue water soluble markers made for that purpose. Just make sure to wash it with NO soap for a whole cycle, then wash with detergent. It is beautiful!
