Can I pick your brain?!!
Ok so I have a neon wonky star quilt I have pinned and ready to be quilted. And for the life of me I cannot decide 100% what design to do! Normally I have my quilting ideas figured out while I am piecing it but nothing came to me with this one. I originally wanted to do concentric circle spiral design all over then I was thinking spirals in the grey and pebbles in the stars but I have no idea. The only thing I do know is that I am using a light grey thread lol. Thanks for any input!!

I would quilt lines radiating out from the centre of each star to the points at maybe 1/2" scale. You can use rulers or draw it on without needing to buy/download stencils. Check out here:

For the background, I tend to like this one:

but if you really want pebbling on the background you could try this one:

OR treat the backgound as a 2ndary pinwheel design and also quilt with radiating lines.

Hey, there!!! Newbies are the same as experienced when it comes to being creative! I always listen as sometimes we can get into a rut.
