Where do you find designs for large areas of quilting? Do you design everything as you go, or make decisions along the way? How do you "audition" quilting motifs?

Today, I am joining some UFO Dresden Plate blocks that I made several years ago from 1930's prints. I have ten 14" blank blocks made from the same Kona "Snow" solid color that is the background for the 24 Dresden Plate blocks. I have no sashing, just the setting triangles in a dense 30's print, which surround the central block area. By tomorrow night, the top should completed and basted, so I'm thinking about quilting motifs right now.

I am going to hand-quilt this quilt so I don't want to use an all-over design.



thank you :-)
