This is the quilt I am making for a wedding. I want to know some ideas for quilting it. I plan on having the light purple in the stripped fabric as the boarder and the little on the quilt. Let me know your ideas.

A nice all over meandering would be pretty.

I usually like to do curvy quilting with straight designs. Remember you don't have to follow the lines of the design unless that is what you want to do.
Another way to quilt this pretty simply would be to stitch in the ditch. That means when you get it all layered and pinned together, you put a walking foot on and simply stitch in the ditch of the seams all down one seam in the middle and then reverse the direction fo rthe next seam going back up the other. This keeps it from getting too wonky making the seams all one way.
I bet there is a book on basic quilting in your library you could check out.

I would do a flowery meandering type of design on it - some flowers here... a leaf there... etc.

I agree, meander or stipple. Depending on your level of FMQ. Meander is the easiest. Love the colors BTW.

I like YARN OR FABRIC's idea the most, throw in a flower here and a leaf there kinda thing

For plain square blocks like this, I like to use my walking foot and go diagonally from all edges making x-es in all the squares. Simple.
