I am stumped on how to quilt this mini I'm making for my guilds mini auction. I love to piece, but the actual quilting is a bit overwhelming. The best I can think of is maybe soft wavy lines diagonally. The tumblers are 3/4" high and the overall is 20" x 22", so there is a lot of seams underneath, lol!
Any suggestions?

I'm just sad that is a mini. I would crawl under that ;-) It's beautiful.

That is a beautiful mini! That is wonderful work on your part! (Sorry, can't help with the quilting. Diagonals?)

Beautiful! I think wavy lines would be very appropriate.

Beautiful quilt! Maybe a meandering to give it some motion?
