So you have areas where quilting is 3" x 60" apart on the long side with no quilting going cross wise in the channel. 60" is indeed much bigger than 10" no matter how you measure it. While your customer wanted simple, I am sorry to say that she may have a problem with the batting bunching up in one or all of those long borders with no quilting going a span of 60" and 50" even if it is a channel only 3" wide. The problem probably won't manifest itself until after the quilt is washed several times.

You are doing this as a business, so you really are responsible for educating your customers and yourself. Sometimes what they want is just not possible because of the nature of the batting. One dissatisfied customer, even if the dissatisfaction occurs a year after you quilted, could cost you a lot of bad word of mouth advertising.

About the only time you can get away with long channels of quilting with no cross wise is very tightly space lines (1/2" or less) apart. Just sayin.
I am glad you posted this! I would have never thought if it this way. The quilt is beautiful, I think any other quilting would have taken away from the simple beauty.

I wish I never posted this. It is a small quilt. It is just for looks. It may get washed once. The piecer is a friend of mine and we like to experiment with things. Her piecing is perfect so I love being able to do things I wouldn't do on other quilts and I don't have to fix seams or holes because there aren't any.

Thanks for all the info. Have a good day and stay warm.
