Need help with how to quilt this ...
I just finished this very colorful quilt top and need to decide how to quilt and what color of thread to use, I am thinking maybe variegated and a simple meander. What do my quilting board experts think? You usually have very good ideas for us newbies.

I think this is an excellant opportunity to do the Leah Day method of filling in spaces. I would keep the black shapes all one type of quilting and all the other colored shapes a variety of textured FM. I would use the thread color that matched all of the different colors.

I think a variegated meander would be pretty. To me a meander reads more like a "no" pattern quilting design and would let the fabric pattern shine. Is that the X block ruler? I just got mine and I want to try the un-be -weavible pattern.
