Check out this quilt. I like the straight line stitching which follows the angles of the FG. You could follow the angle on the large FG and run the lines up to the smaller FG. Another thought is using the serpentine stitch.

OMG! I am so glad I checked out those websites, pics, and videos!!! That was a huge help!
So I've decided to make horizontal lines and then following the lines on the triangles of the large geese, I will make diagonal lines. I'm gonna use my walking foot and see how it goes.
I drew horizontal lines while it was laid out on my kitchen floor just to get an idea of how it would look. I drew the lines 2-inches apart, but I think it would look better if the lines were a bit closer. Maybe 1.5"?
Anyway, I'm so glad I asked this question cuz I feel way better now about attempting to quilt this!
THANK YOU, ALL!

Stunning modern quilt! your decision to keep it simple and use straight line quilting is going to pay off. Really wonderful job...was it a pattern and if so, who designed it and where did you purchase?

I love the "arrows behind the geese" ( my interpretation). Also looked at the googles (feline fanatic). Liked this one for the quilting. Hope to see the finished quilt and how you finally decided to quilt it.
Looking forward to seeing your finished work. Best of luck!
