Default How would you quilt this Clown?

I have finished the "quilt" part but what to do for the green background quilting? Thinking "echo". This will be quilted on my home machine..not long arm. I have to finish this for a show at the end of the month.

Love the quilt! Maybe straight line quilting like a spotlight was behind him with rays shooting out.

Very cute and echo would be nice but I think I would like a smaller stipple instead. Whatever you do it is going to look great!

I immediately had to think of juggling, which made me think of circles...so maybe smaller circles in the background after maybe one or two rows of outline quilting? Let us know what you finally decide on...he's a cutie!

Bubbles was exactly my thought as well, but not teensy ones.

I LOVE your quilt. Did you have a pattern? If you did, could you share a link to it?

Like the idea of big bubbles.
