If the quilt takes 4 blocks to make the pattern, then I will sew the four parts together, then build rows. That's just my preferences. Quilting is all about doing any task the way that you are comfortable with. I have a harder time with a quilt that builds out from the center. Those have to be sewn in a round-a-bout way and my logical brain just doesn't like that. But I like the results, so I do it anyway.
