    You are correct. I use painters tape to mark a line down the center, either straight across or on the diagonal. Then I use the edge of the tape to guide my walking foot. Use 3" wide tape. Go down both sides, then move the tape next to one of the lines and keep going. They also have tape with fancy edges.

    that is correct, and make sure you measure in all directions, including the diagonal!

    I am not sure about how to quilt it, but I sure will be interested in seeing the final product. I love yellow, I love KF fabrics...so, I expect to love the results.

    I did a curvy line in the solid and a flower in each block, I think. Let me find a picture. I was right, but the picture won't load. Another way to get there:

    I have made a few of these quilts also, and always do stitch in the ditch. They have been washed and dried several times and have held their shape.

    You may want to do what I call an on -the-bank which is off the ditch and maybe use a zigzag. Love your top colors and backing.

    I think your quilt is beautiful. I would put a lot more pins in it before you start to keep it from shifting.
    Good luck
