Inserting on alternate lines?

This morning I made a vertical selection with CTRL-V and typed (too)
quickly to prepend a quote to the selected lines. I got something like
this:

"...
...
"...
...
"...
...

For the life of me (pun intended), I cannot do it again. How is it
possible to insert text on alternate lines?

Thanks,
Life.
