I am undecided how to quilt this and have narrowed it down to 2 possibilities keeping in mind that the recipient is very "old school" and doesn't like modern designs!
Option 1. To fmq within each 12" block with a central and corner daisies and add a smaller daisy at each sashing intersection.
Option 2. To fmq all-over clam/half circles in rows.

Do either of these options seem reasonable? Option 1 would be easier for me as a novice fmq as I would only be working on one block at a time as opposed to option 2 where I would be working the entire width (or length) of the quilt with each row. BUT I think option 2 is more "traditional...quilty-ish?" And if I was to do option 2 which way should I run the clams: along the longer or shorter side? Sorry the photo is a bit washed out and you can't see the small dots and stripes on some of the pieces......it's all sort of flower themed as the recipient loves her garden.

Is there a better pattern I could use?
