My method seems contrary to others - I stitch all around the outside and work in toward the middle when I machine quilt and when I hand quilt, I either quilt as I go or start in the middle and work out. It works out fine because I'm meticulous about having the stuff squared and basted properly before I start. My first few attempts to work the other way ended in puckers.

I agree. I have done alot of FMQ and I always start in the middle, even on borders. Have fun.
:D

No matter which way you decide to quilt it, it is best if you start in the middle and work your way out.
What I have done on some D9Ps is SID around the whole D9P block creating a little grid on the back, then I went back over it with the darning foot and stippled and doodled in one block at a time. It was pretty fun.

I just finished a D9P, crib size.. SID would let you sew for long runs without stopping. Unfortunately I started, and continued sewing 1/4 in on all the blocks. That left me with 4 threads to tie and bury for each block. Not good idea. Then in the center of the large blocks I freehanded a star--more threads to tie and bury. Thank goodness it is only crib size. I'd SID if i were to do it again.
