help with quilting
I have just completed this quilt for my nephew who is a freshman in high school. I used the school colors. The quilt is very graphic and I am at a loss as how to quilt it. Suggestions please.

Great modern top! I think I would straight line quilt going with the design in the white every 1/2 inch or so. SITD on the smaller bars and stitch 1/2 rows in the same colour in the thicker bars on the diagonal.

I agree with Tartan. Jackie Geuring has Craftsy classes with simple and very striking walking foot quilting techniques that looks fabulous on modern quilts. If it is not yet sandwiched, consider a high loft batting. The nonquilted areas within or around the SITD would puff a bit higher and create more dimension than a low loft batting would.

Oh, I sure like this pattern! I never used to like the modern look, but more and more I see interesting patterns that catch my eye. I am no help with a quilting pattern tho. I always have trouble deciding how to quilt something. Let us see it when you are finished. Am sure it will be beautiful!
