free motion circular swirls but I don't have a free motion foot. There are
examples of it done with diagonal lines.
Would wavy lines in only one direction look weird?
I like the diagonal lines but I'm not confident that I could follow the quilt lines - I would take the time to mark lines with masking tape or an erasable marker.
Advice?
if it were me because I have done this, wavy lines. They will look nice agains the squares. They don't have to be exact which makes them user friendly I have done them diagonally or up and down. You don't even need to put them close together or measure exactly between the lines.. It is a fun, easy and forgiving way to quilt.
