Default Start in the middle or the side?

I've posted on this quilt top and this question, but did not get an answer to this question.

This top is a little stretched out of shape, probably because I IRONED it instead of pressing it. The charms are a little "poufy", as is some of the sashing.

I am going to quilt it using a walking foot and wavy lines. It will be my first quilting job. The Craftsy classes I watched Monday said to start on the side when you use this method. Someone suggested I start in the center, which is totally doable. I'll just have to bury a lot of threads if I start in the middle.

If I start in the center, do you then do all the lines from the center out? Or, do you just stabilize it from the center out and then do the rest from the edge in? If I work from the edge in, do I alternate directions or do all the seams go in one direction?

(I'm using a gray 30 wt. thread that may hide some of my mistakes.)

Obviously, I'm going to do all the lines, but I did not draw all the lines.
