Newbie Quilter and Have a Question
Hello all. When using a fabric with a pattern (let's say animals) does it matter if the animals are sideways in a block...or just facing different detections?
Im new to quilting and not sure if it's a matter of preference or if the animals should be facing the "correct" way when looking at the quilt.
Thank you and what a great message board! It's been very helpful.

I've done them both randomly and all going in up/down direction. I like them up/down, facing in toward the center and not facing off the quilt, but this comes from my journalism background. You are not supposed to have the subject of a photo looking off the page.

I like bed quilts to be able to be used with either end at the top of the bed, so I deliberately mix up the directions of images. I do the same with table runners because I don't want them to be seen entirely upside down for people on one side of the table.
