I think the book I am thinking of is: Quilting makes the Quilt. It has different quilts and shows each quilted 4 different ways. It shows there are options.
I just doodle on a plastic sleeve over a print out of the quilt top til I find what I like.
This might make a good guild challenge. Everyone make the same quilt but allowed different fabric and different quilting options. Hmmm.
