Could you outline the critters in the pictures? (It's a beautiful top!)

You didn't mention if this was LAQ or DSM FMQ?

What about a butterfly in the centre of each of the printed blocks?
Or an all over butterfly pattern?

Here's two of my quilts where with edge-to-edge butterflies.
The first is a pattern similar to yours ... The second shows the quilting design better.

QuiltE, thank you for sharing the links to your quilts. I may have to create a bug meander. Guess I need to go look for line drawings of bugs, especially beetles and see if i can come up with something. The quilting will be done on a DSM, no LA yet.

Thank you for your ideas everyone!

You're welcome! When I saw the butterflies, I thought of mine.
As you probably guessed, they were done on a LA. However, I'm sure you could draw out a butterfly and loop from one to the other with your DSM. And too, could do bugs ... though to me, the butterflies would be more interesting. However, for kids ... yes, they may be more thrilled with bugs!

I think it is great and I love how the colors you used help the pattern to show up so well. Great choices, and a very nice quilt!

I don't think it looks too blocky. It would be appr. for a boy or a girl. Good luck with deciding on how to quilt it. I have no idea what would look best.

That is beautiful but I can't suggest a quilting design, to me anything would look great. I can't wait to see what you end up doing though. Thank you for sharing.
