yes, I try to start at the half way point of the sides and go to half way of the top/bottom--it frames the quilt and on larger quilts I personally think it's more interesting. and that does put some head "south" I've also done Angela Walters' "wild feathers" and gone from the side of the main part of quilt and go out to the edge of border (remember to leave your 1/4" for the binding) and then done straight lines to fill in the spaces. (this was a customer quilt that had 10"borders!)
