I love this quilt. In my quilt universe you can never have too much print!
Since I do lots like this, I can say that I agree w/ those that suggest a meandering all-over. It just isn't worth the time to do fussy quilting when it doesn't really show up :-D :-D

I vote for the meander as well. Fancy quilting won't show up, so save yourself the work. Great qulit.

I like the way you have used the fabric.

I love Hawaiian prints! I agree with the allover meander or something simple since it won't show much......unless you have something you want to practice, like machine quilting feathers or something like that----this is the perfect quilt to practice on!

I agree with Luvspaper. It seems the majority thinks you should meander. Since I prefer hand stitching, I stay away from meandering. It would be a good time to do diagonal lines in both directions or to use a pattern or several patterns you would like to practice before using them on a future quilt.

Found this pantograph for sale and it would mimic the flowers.
