I could use some inspiration here. This is a customer quilt, I'd ask her what she wants, but the reality is that she just doesn't know much about the quilt making process (really, when I told her the top was ready for quilting, she didn't realize that "quilting" is when I will sew the top to batting to back), so she doesn't have any ideas...

I'm really new to FMQ (*really* new, I've done one FMQ quilt, just simple loop to loops so please don't suggest something beyond my skill level...)...I want to do some FMQ on this, because I'd really like to make those yellow strips in the border stand out...but I'm not really sure what to do! Usually when I get to this point, I've already got a plan for the quilting in mind...but this time, I have this quilt sandwiched and spray basted, taped to my floor and I just keep staring at it. I can't come up with a solid plan at all.

Here is what I THINK I know:

I want to make the yellow border strips stand out.
I'm using variegated rainbow thread.
I don't think I want any quilting at all on the thin white border.

Thoughts?
