Your quilt is absolutely stunning, I would do a lot of SID quilting, you wouldn't want to distract from the quilt top. You could sneak in some celtic designs in borders and such. Please post a pic when you're all done, would love to see it. Thanks for posting, and P.S. if your quilt ever needs a home, it would have a really good home at my house !!! lol Thanks for posting.

Beautiful quilt! I wouldn't even dare make a suggestion on how to quilt that beauty. I'm sure you will figure it out, and it will be even more wonderful!

how about some type of celtic design that has straight lines. Your quilt is quite stunning this is one very unique quilt. Love it

Boy do I wish I could get my hands on this one! I've been sitting here studying it. I think your idea of SID is correct for the colored area. Then you have all that black. You have black diamonds on either side of the main large ones. I would quilt that celtic knot in those, in black. The sashings, I see, with a simple rope winding all the way through. I think I would also do the rope all the way around in the borders. Then you have the diamond centers to the braids themselves. I think I would just do curved lines around the interior. (we longarmers call them pumpkin seeds or orange peel) Then you have around your colored celtic knots. I think a tight stipple would set them off nicely. I'd do a little looser stipple in the triangles on either end of the braids.
Can't wait to see what you do with this beauty!

Beautiful quilt!!
I agree quilting in the ditch gets my vote.

That is beautiful and I don't know enough about quilting to suggest to you except I agree with not to busy so it doesn't take away from the quilt it's self

Fantastic! I agree that the quilt can, very easily, stand alone. SID is what I would do.
