How nice stitching in the middle of the block will look. Thank you Amandasgramma for sharing this tip. I'm sure I have seen a quilt stitched this way before but I didn't atually notice the stitching. LOL

I agree with the diagonals stitching for easier and faster quilting. Plus, it always looks very nice.

Love your runners that you have made.

Ahhh...cross hatch. I thought that would increase the amounts of stopping and starting. Right now, I'm about 20 times per runner. It was almost twice that when I quilted the yellow one. I don't think I know how to do it to get to one stop at start.
