G'day dpendl,
Congratulations on finishing your first quilt, good job. Do you have a serpentine stitch on your machine? As that is automatic it will leave your hands free to manage the quilt. You could stitch this in one direction, or horizontally and vertically, about a handswidth apart, or random. Otherwise, wavy lines would be my suggestion,random again, then you don't have to stress about equal distances. I have found it useful to do some marking with a Frixion pen. Please post a pic when it's done. Dive in! it will be OK.Cheers from Downunder.
