An overall pattern like stippling is nice, but what if you want to quilt block by block? I don't always want to do stitch in the ditch either. It's so difficult to see what's done on the finished product in magazines and pattern covers. Where do you get your inspiration from?

This is the quilt I have in the works. I am using Clothworks Juliana fabric - http://www.clothworkstextiles.com/collection.asp?ID=135. Any suggestions on how to quilt the individual blocks?

I agree with you, we need quilting suggestions, not "quilt as desired" The quilting part is the part I am not quite so good at and I need all the help I can get!!!
