Suggestions on quilting
#11
I love the colors. The pattern is great! Good luck on the quilting. All I know how to do is stitch in the ditch and cross-hatching, so probably the suggestions of using the painter's tape is what I woud have to do.

First top, free motion is a lot to tackle, use painters blue tape to keep lines srtaight and machine quilt,,not through tape but along side of edge. Miss the black and blue patches..just to stop yellow from bagging. Use the longest machine stitch. Otherwise, stitch in ditch in blue and black blocks. :0)

For ME, a new machine quilter, I can't quite get the meandering down (even when i'm doodling!) so I would avoid that. I love spirals and loops and "waves" and things like that. But to avoid crossing over? I'm helpless! And I can't manage that soft curve, either. Mine end up with sharp points!
