Yay, grammar!
Anyway, just so you know the reason why the norm is to start at the outer apron, it's so that you can center the pattern on the outer apron to look nice.
By the time you get to the end, you've got little control over where the pattern's going to sit on the apron, but when it's the under apron it's not important.

But if the other way is working for you, then more power to you!

Good luck!
