I know I haven't finished piecing the top yet, but I'm already really excited about how I plan on quilting this one.

I'm planning on doing a large dragon in each of the corners, and a really large koi fish (*sp?) in the center. For the rest of the space, I was thinking a really basic Sashiko style stitch to not draw away from the rest of the quilting design, but kind of sticks to the theme of the fabrics.

Also, if anyone has any links for a really nice koi fish or dragon, I'm still searching for the perfect ones.

This is my first Bargello. Do you think the quilting I have in mind will make it look too busy? I plan on doing it by hand with a dark blue cotton thread. (Maybe this is why it usually takes me so long to complete a quilt.)

Thanks for taking the time to take a look at what I'm working on! I'm really looking forward to all the insight you have to share.
