Your quilt is beautiful.
Why not do an edge to edge pattern with lots of loop de loops.
It would be a good way to try out your longarm.

I love scrappy quilts that don't look like a hodge podge. This one has style and elan AND scrappy charm. Kudos!

I love your scrappy quilt.... my favorite kind to make. There is a Facebook page for beginning longarm quilters. Lots of good info there. Good luck!

Your quilt is beautiful and if you are new to long arm quilting I would keep the quilting simple so that the pattern in the quilt pops out. I don't know what type of LA you have but at my last quilt show I was amazed at all of the tools they have to help you create professional designs quite simply. Congratulation on completing a very challenging quilt.

Whatever you choose, my hat's off to you for making 900 HSTs and sewing them together. Wow. I can't wrap my head around that! I made a quilt with 180 and that took me forever.
