Happy Garden Wheel quilt

Love the fabrics in your wall hanging. The vintage fabrics you used brought back happy memories of when I sewed with similar fabrics as a child. The linen looks perfect with the other fabrics. Sorry, I have no quilting suggestion.

I think you have a spring delight going on here. In keeping with the floral theme, I think I would do simple vines in the border linen sections and partial flowers in the corners of the plate blocks. Maybe a simple leaf in each blade of the plates, or maybe not. Whatever YOU decide to do, I am sure you will finish with a joy of a quilt.

Your wall hanging is very striking... I love the floral collection you chose and how it looks with the linen. Since it is a wall hanging, you won't have to worry about how much you quilt it but you'll really want to showcase the pattern. It would be a tough decision for me too.

Lovely wall hanging. To me, it screams for hand quilting. Probably big stitch quilting, using white thread. I'd do simple stitching inside each "blade" 1/4 inch away from the seam. I'd do the same in each colored square in the border. I think once that part is done the rest of the quilting design will come to you.
