I made this quilt top for a dear friend of mine who's expecting and loves owls. She picked the owl fabric, and I designed the quilt. I'm very happy with it. Here's my question though, how should I quilt it?? I was thinking of using variegated thread, but I don't know what I should do? Does anyone look at this and 'see' a quilting design? I'm not very good at the quilting part, but I just don't think in-the-ditch or diagonals across the squares would look very good. It's small enough that I'm open to trying some hand quilting or something more fancy on the machine, I just need some ideas. Oh, and I think the binding is going to be stripy (pieced bias I think is the official name).

Thanks for the help in advance!

P.S. Not sure what that funky ripply wrinkle is in the picture, but it's not there on the quilt. Sorry, just noticed that!
