This is a BEAUTIFUL QUILT ! You did a fantastic job ! I think I would do a sample block first before quilting quilt. Just to get an idea of what it would look like, if you have any scraps left that you could make a small block out of. I would like to see what it would look like if you just quilted around the darkest colors. like skip a row and then quilt next dark color. too much quilting will make it heavy. really would love to see it after you quilt it.
