I prefer to stay away from a lot of quilting because I know that makes them stiff. My brother has a quilt an old high school friend made for him. It’s gorgeous but it takes 2 grown men to bend it around him. I want something to cuddle up and watch Netflix with.
How about something like this?

This would look very nice in the sashing. However, you still need to stitch in the blocks to stabilize them or they will not lay flat. You could do the same type stitching away from th ditch. Not so much turning if you are doing free motion instead of a walking foot for this part. :-)
