    Hunter's Star quilting suggestions please

    Hunter's Star top is done! Used the Rapid Fire ruler by Deb Tucker & like how it turned out. It does take a little time but I could not have done the bias edges without it. I would like to quilt it myself but need something simple. I usually do a fairly large meander but wondered about in the ditch & outlining the stars. I have not done feathers, wreaths etc. & don't want to 'practice' on this one. I have a gold/bronze Isacord that I was thinking of using but could just use mono-poly. Would like to use silk batting to make it lighter weight, there may be issues with wool sensitivity. Any suggestions are appreciated.

    beautiful job...i like your quilting suggestion of shadowing with your quilting
    A positive attitude may not solve all your problems, but it will annoy enough people to make it worth the effort :lol:

    Fantastic quilt. I would shadow the stars to make them pop and in the ditch for triangles or small zigzag.

    I would keep in simple and echo quilt where pieced just once with 1/4" width like what a hand quilting would do.

    You could stitch in ditch around each petal of the star, then do a smaller meander in the triangle squares around them. That would make the stars pop.
