All ideas welcome.
Not very good at FMQ, but thought I'd give it another go, but at a loss as to where and what to do.
Thanks everyone.

Thanks, it's a panel my son bought for my birthday.Thought I should run it up this morning. Now I'm stuck on how to quilt it, although I've already decided I'll bind it in a coral/red, to bring out the red in the panel.

I would echo quilt with clear thread for all the center object and the floral print on the edges. The gray and gold borders stitch in the ditch and then a very simple design on the final border since it will not show.

Well....if I were to quilt it myself...I would maybe quilt Charisma Curls in the white area with white thread and the black area with black thread....it will make fabric designs stand out...the little swirls would work as well. A little trapunto may be nice on this as well....on some of those bigger flowers and the butterfly??
In the borders...there are several options, leaves, flowers, feathers, anything to compliment the center panel.
If you are quilting this on your DSM and you are not comfortable with my designs....A small stipple in the black and White around the elements are very effective or echo quilting....the borders you could quilt any design you are comfortable with....I would just make each border a different design to breakup it up and add texture. :thumbup:
