    No ideas on the quilting but the project is very stunning.

    Because you pattern is very busy, you may try something I saw at Quilt Festival this year. It was just straight lines of quilting, done at different widths apart. Choose a great thread and it actually adds to the quilt, instead of competing with the top. I was surprised and impressed with the technique. I'm sorry that I cannot remember the instructor who did it, but you may Google it. I can't wait to try it myself.

    Your quilt is so very beautiful I would be like you and have a hard time making up my mind on how to quilt it. I would keep it simple as not to distract from from the beauty of the quilt.

    A beautiful quilt!!! I just love it, and agree that keeping the quilting fairly simple would be the best. Perhaps some outlining 1/4" away from the circles, then some stipple or hashing in the circle background.. not inside the circles. Or perhaps a simple petal shape in the plain circles.

    Your quilt is unique and one of a kind. I love your fabric selections and how you fussy cut the flowers. I agree, less is more. Incorporate the quilting so it's just an extension of the piecing and not fighting against it. Thanks for sharing this beautiful piece of art.

    Beautiful pattern and work. I think it 'screams' for a Sashiko pattern of quilting. If a 3inch sashiko pattern is used, it will blend with the 3 inch squares and can be adapted or even omitted for the 6 inch and 9 inch squares.
