How to quilt?
#11
I like MTS's suggestion - the concentric lines within bands. Will the batting you've used let you get a way with far-apart quilting lines? I think I would minimize the quilting as much as possible, to let the piecing shine! Maybe use a couple of different colours so that the thread disappears into the fabric?

I like the combination of two of the suggestions ... diagonal feathers and alternating diagonal lines.
I would place the feathers in yellow to red sections - a complete "diamond" and in the setting corners. In the purple/blue/green sections place one or two lines again on the diagonal "diamond". SITD around the whole block. As for the "smashing" (<g>) not sure how wide it is - if it needs to be quilted. If it does ... perhaps diamonds would draw all the 4 large squares together.
Lovely piece!!

Hi Guys,
Love all the suggestions, but I think I really like MTS's suggestions and as they are only 1" squares I could quilt that far apart.... as for the smashing... there is a little twist on that.... when I post the finished item you will see what I mean.
Thank you all for your help, I will hopefully quilt tomorrow or Saturday and post a picture!
Hugs
