I have always made big quilts (full or larger), but I wanted to make a wall hanging from the fall fabric I just bought. I think I could like this. An hour or two and I have a quilt that is ready to pin and quilt. Let me know what you think and any suggestions of how to quilt it.
I walked away for a second and look what happened. Love my cats.
It's done. Any suggestions how to make the corners not look so pointy. maybe a shorter dowl.

Help me with these pointy corners

I am a fan of meandering also. I have done stitch in the ditch in the center, but the leaf or pumpkin sounds interesting for the borders. Thanks for the suggestions. I'm back to the sewing machine!!!
