How to quilt this?
I'm playing around with borders now, but need help in deciding how to quilt this. I was thinking of using my embroidery machine and putting a pretty feather in the open areas of the appliqué strips, then filling in with some free motion fillers. Have no idea how to quilt the signature squares. I'm stuck. Help!

I would SID around the signature; do some McTavishing or other fairly tight filler around the appliqued flowers (and might even baste in some wool bat in those sections so you could make it faux trapunto under the flowers--BTW, great job on your applique). I'd probably do continuous curves on the triangles surrounding the signatures and I like the idea of doing an echo of the applique by doing flowers/vines/leaves on the borders. Very cute quilt!
