Pieced the following quilt a couple of months ago, now am ready to quilt it. I don't do FMQ as of yet, someday. Should I hand quilt this or machine & in what design. Thank you for your suggestions.

Beautiful quilt!!! If you don't do freemotion yet, then I'd just do a straight stitch 1/4" in from the seams on the yellow. Also, consider doing stitch in the ditch around the printed fabric. It is so beautiful and so busy I wouldn't do too much, if anything at all, in the printed fabric. I personally don't think stippling would fit this quilt. You could do crosshatching (making diamonds) on the yellow sashing. :thumbup: Here's some ideas....
