I'm going to give this wall hanging as a wedding gift. Am mistified as to how to quilt it. The fabric is not your usual cotton but a loosely woven batik. Will be quilting it myself on a QC 1000. Am not real experienced yet. Would very much appreciate your thoughts!

Circles would be fantastic quilted on that pattern. I would do small circles in each small square and then three circles going across the two empty blocks diagonal including the intersection. I would stitch in the ditch for all seams.

I always think geometric patterns benefit from curves in the quilting. I find it difficult to do stitch-in-the-ditch with enough accuracy to satisfy me, but curvy lines are very forgiving and do not demand accuracy. How about using a walking foot to make wavy lines flow down the quilt, perhaps in-between the decorative threads already in the fabric?
