Am I Nuts To Outline Pinwheels on the Diagonal?
I know you ladies have lots of experience, so I'm asking for advice on what to do! I am making this pinwheel block quilt (bed size) --it's my first one--and I finished stitching in the ditch on all the horizontal and vertical lines. Doesn't look that bad for my first quilt! Then I got the "bright idea" of why not stitch in the ditch for all the diagonal lines too, so the whole pinwheel is "outlined." Now I am not sure if that is something "typically" done or I'm biting off way more than I should--- as it seems to be taking me soooo long to get this diagonal stitching done-- and it's so much harder to stitch without going way outside the "ditch." I've never seen this addressed before...
Do you ladies do the diagonal? Should I rip out the few lines I've done and just call it a day? There are 90 pinwheel blocks in this quilt! I'm not sure if I can do this diagonal part as it seems now like excessively time consuming...or is this just "typical" quilting? Thank you for any advice on this. I'm just plain confused.
