Yes, get that beauty quilted and into the show! I see feathers in the light backgrounds with the spine of the feathers following the arch of the triangles and the feathers flowing out to the edge of the block, lots of SID. Please, please post pictures when you have it quilted!

Echo quilting on the points, and feathers everywhere to soften the quilt. It's so beautiful! I hope you will post pictures of it when it's done regardless of what you choose! Best of luck in the quilt show!!

I would put 1/4" cross hatching in the gray areas and stippling in the white areas and echo quilting in the colored areas. And then I'd go get a professional opinion! The quilt is beautiful.

Gorgeous, gorgeous!!! I can't give any advice on how I would do it, because I think I would be in the same situation. I do have a site bookmarked that sells quilting stencils and maybe by looking at these something would just pop out and say ME ME!!!! I know I sit and look at all my quilt quilting books and then I still wonder in a daze.

Good Luck!!
