Question about grid stitching
I plan to mark a grid over the entire top of a quilt before adding the French Roses. I will be scattering the raw-edge roses rather than within a block. (This quilt is for a GGD who is blind and autistic. I want her to feel the texture of the roses.)
My question: when stitching from edge to edge, should I stitch one line, turn and stitch in the opposite direction Or should all stitching begin on the same edge and end on the same edge?
Anyone have any experience on doing this? I welcome some input. Thanks.

I start the grid on the edge of the middle quilt line and go edge to edge. Then I finish one side, turn and start on the other side. Same with the opposite grid lines. I use a Straight Edge ruler for marking my lines (bought at Lowe's) it's 2 1/2 inch wide metal ruler and comes in various sizes. I have the 4 ft and 6 ft. The longest one is only $12. My smallest quilt ruler cost that much. LOL
