This will be my third quilted quilt (I've tied a few, too), but so far all I have done is SID and straight lines. Thank you!
Sorry for the crappy cell phone picture.
First of all, I am always thrilled to hear a young person is into quilting, especially a student, because if you are finding time to quilt as a student, you are surely dedicated to the craft, and I love that ! There are not a lot of young people who are interested enough in the art of quilting to carry on the tradition, so bless you for being among those who do.
I really like your quilt and choice of fabric and color. As for the quilting, I think a meandering, curvy stitch would be quite nice with the straight lines of your quilt, but it will be pretty with whatever stitch you choose.
