My very first full sized quilt was a Donna Poster foldy Log Cabin. That was all the quilting I did on the body of the quilt, but I put wide borders on it and that is where I first tried stippling. I was chicken, so I used invisible thread on the front, but actually, it was fairly easy and I enjoyed doing it.
What I meant up above is the only quilting on the body was as you mentioned, between the blocks. That wasn't too clear, what I said first.
