This is a quilt measuring 83x71 that I put together about 18 mos ago and sandwiched about a year ago. It is a little wrinkled cause it was rolled and hanging on my "quilt hanger" in my sewing room (the treadmill in the family room) Anyway, originally I was just going to quilt it diagonally sort of "in the ditch" with maybe a squiggly line or another fun stitch. However I wonder if I should stitch in the "ditch" with a squiggly line outline each block, which as a whole is 12" and then maybe do a free hand sort of petal to make it look like a flower. I tried to draw in what I'm talking about with a disappearing marker. What do you think? My quilting skills are basic, I am afraid of messing it up by trying something hard. I hope to finish this up soon. Please send in suggestions!!! :) :) :)

Possible quilting lines drawn on it.
