    I'm getting ready to quilt this one, but am struggling with how to quilt. Other than doing a standard diagonal, I'm sort of at a loss. Any ideas? (I'm not a fan of stippling...). Thanx!

    Are those kokapeli? How bout a spiral in and out, so you come back out and go the other direction, kinda like an "s"?

    How about wavy lines going top-down through the center of it, then on point squares for the inner border and spirals or vines & leaves on the outer border?

    Wow, I love your quilt! Are you going to hand or machine quilt it?

    Thanks for the ideas. I'll be machine quilting it (no patience for hand quilting, altho I admire those who hand-quilt). I am also thinking of a using block motif in each block with the "cross in a cross" block being one motif and the vase and turtle blocks being another. I'm having "quilter's block" at the moment (but there's plenty of other quilts to be made, so this isn't an emergency!).

    Love your pattern and material. What ever you do will be lovely. What is the name of the pattern and how did you do the corners - I love it. Be sure to post a pic when your done.

    Beautiful!!! I only use large stipple quilting and I don't like straight line quilting. Sorry, I can't help you out.
