I think I gave a wrong impression when I mentioned the instructions on batting saying you can quilt up to 8 inches apart. I'm actually quilting lines 3 inches apart. It does enhance the design, as the Jacob's Ladder pattern is diagonal. I'm really happy with the way this is turning out, and I think it will be fine without lines crossing in the opposite direction.
