Default quilting idea

On 6/13/18 I posted 4 of my latest log cabin tops and have been staring at this top for days and finally decided what I wanted to do. I have one of them done and wanted to share how I quilted this.This is the one with the diagonal "wavey" effect -- I did not want to take away from the pattern, so I marked and quilted in the neutral areas with a cream thread, straight lines that are 2" wide. In the dark areas, I did a meander with navy thread. Using Warm and Natural, I could get away with the 2" channel quilting. This is for charity and I will turn it in on this coming Thursday. I just wanted to quilt this top to see how it would turn out, and wanted to be able to wash it as I had to mark with a chalk pencil, washing it being much easier than erasing those lines!
Thanks for looking.
