Default Where do you start with meandering FMQ?

I've been trying to figure out what I'm going to do with my latest project - it's all pin basted and ready to go and I just don't want to do SID (my standard go-to). I'm thinking I'd like to try an allover large-scale meander but I have a couple of questions for you experts out there:

1) When I SID, I generally start with one of the middle lines and work my way outwards to both sides, then turn the quilt 90 degrees and repeat. Where do you start when meandering? The middle of the quilt? A corner?

2) Do you try to keep a continuous line going across the entire quilt top or do you do it in sections? I'm actually thinking of trying to do it in vertical strip sections (how the quilt top was pieced) to try to keep my meandering somewhat in control, but have not committed to this yet.

Thanks for your input and insights!
