    If you don't like starting and stopping in the middle and dealing with loose threads, what if you went horizontally all the way across the quilt through the center of all those 6 in. blocks and also vertically through the center of all of them? This will end up with a + in the middle of each 6 in. block. (You would not start and stop at the block. Go from edge to edge of the quilt just like you did with the other quilting.)

    I don't think you need to do any more quilting on it.

    Wouldn't a biggish button look cool in the center of the "rail" sections? I think the amount of quilting is fine and will let the pattern of the quilt stand out. Very nice quilt.
    peace

    Gale: Sounds like the voice of experience is on your side and your safe. If you just aren't comfortable you could start at the edge in a corner and stitch to the opposite corner, doing that cross ways through each block creating a kind of hatch line. I used that method on a simple scrap quilt and liked the results.

    I think it's a great quilt with just enough quilting. Nicely done.

    I love that pattern and it is very pretty as is. I don't like a lot of heavy quilting personally. Could you tell me where to find the pattern? Thank you.
