Modern waddings do not need to be as densely quilted as vintage quilts used to be - that's why the older quilts are quilted approx every 1"; check with the paperwork/washing instructions that come with your wadding but usually today's option is approx 7-10" apart. Question: I have quilted each (log cabin) block on the diagonal to make squares with the quilting line (does that make sense?).
Would it look ok if to do it at an angle? Answer: Good question - it will look already whatever you do as it's really scrappy; I took the easy option of quilting with wavey lines (and my walking foot)
over every other seam with a thread that was tonal/varigated. If you quilt on the diagonal be aware that this is on the bias and you won't want the quilt to distort.
