Quilting my Tossed Nine Patch quilt

After much internal debate I have decided to quilt my tossed nine patch with quilting in the ditch. I usually quilt with a cross hatch but I don't think that method would look good with the sashing. I'm able to quilt most of the block in a continuous line. My favorite part about quilting is buring the thread ends. I like the popping sound as the knot magically disappears into the backing. I don't like struggling with huge quilts in my sewing machine and mine has a large harp. My goal is to quilt a block a day. Twenty blocks and I have completed four. At least I'm making progress considering the fact that it has been hanging over our railing for a month as I mulled over quilting designs and procrastinated starting the quilting stage.
