    I've done FMQ in an all over pattern, crossing over seams. I have also done FMQ within sections of the quilt and then SID in sections for a specific effect. It all depends on what you're wanting to achieve. Neither is wrong--its entirely personal preference.
    When life throws you scraps, make a quilt!

    I sure could have used that shove last wk when I did Mom's quilt! It was much the same feeling I used to get when it came to jumping off the high dive. Stare over the edge forever and then WHEEEEEE.

    I rarely SITD as I don't like the look. I just FMQ over the whole quilt though nowadays I usually send my tops out to be long-arm quilted.

    I rarely FMQ, but when I do I go over all seams. Sometimes I only Ditch, but mostly I send my tops out for quilting now that I can no longer hand quilt (I wore out the joint in my quilting finger).

    Go for broke. Stitch over everything. You'll be fine.

    Depends. If I'm just stippling the whole quilt, I go over the seams. If I am putting a design in the blocks, I usually SITD first around the blocks and borders. Then I do the FMQ in the blocks/borders.
