Needing Help/Opinions
I recently made this quilt for a friend, and it's all finished with some nice quilting in the pink zig zags. When I made this one, though, I made another at the same time, for myself. I've come to the quilting stage and on my quilt, those zig zags are a dark brown, more of an accent to make the rest of the quilt pop. I really don't want to do any heavy quilting in those zig zags on mine, so do you think that if I just didn't quilt in those zig zags at all, that it would be fine? They're 2.5" strips, and I've already done SID around the edges. I used a cotton poly blended batting, if that information helps.

Check the batting package for the minimum quilting distance if you have it. If you don't, 2-1/2 inches in the zig zag should be fine in a polyester batt. You've SITD on each side so I don't think it's going to move. Is that the X block ruler block? It's very pretty.

If you want to go with the simple design without alot of quilting, I think it would look fine with just the SITD, but like Tartan said, check for the minimum quilting distance. Good luck. I like your quilt. Thanks for sharing.

The batting does say 2-4" and I know I have it covered on the horizontal aspect, but I wasn't sure if it would be a problem lengthwise. I thought that since the strips zig zag across the batting, instead of a straight line, that it would be fine.
Thanks! This is the X Blocks Sleeping Beauty pattern.
