It never did/does. I really have to get the quilt top on the table, and mark it beforehand. I find it's forcing it, but I get used to making the decision about what to do where. Personally I think we overthink it, and am always shocked that even a meh idea of design can look awesome once it's quilted.

Sometimes, for whatever reason, you just lose the drive to finish something. It sounds like you've come up with a good quilting plan to get this one going again.
