Any suggestions on how to quilt this, I thought either an large stipple or perhaps even stitch in the ditch?

How about some kind of spirals in the wide red border?

I think deciding on a quilting design is the hardest part
of making a quilt.

I'm agreeing with spirals or circles of some type to give it motion....would SID the main features of the design to make it pop and then soften the rest with a circle shape.

Love the colors!

Christine:

Are you open in WB yet? I am so excited to get to come over there to check your store out.

I never would have chosen these colors and this design I would have preferred to add some light to it, but he's a dark fan.

Thanks for all the suggestions. Better finish piecing it so that I can get it on the frame.

So totally agree!

As a "mans" quilt, the color choices are hard for me, yes I love black and reds, but would have liked to see some light in it.
