I just got my Juki and GQM frame last month. I made a practice free-motion quilt, which came out great, and two more quilts, one for a fundraiser for a crippled Italian Greyhound, which will be raffled off this coming week (First 2 pics)

I made this 1930's print quilt for me, 5 years ago, and put it aside until I got my frame. So I want to quilt it. I am feeling pretty good about random free motion quilting, but I don't have any idea how to get a design on the quilt and then quilt it. I'm overwhelmed by the options, I think. I want to create a design to quilt in the white areas, that will be consistent. Someone suggested paper, but how to get all that paper on the quilt before rolling it? And does it not mess up? What do you experts do? This quilt is really special to me, and I want it to be as perfect as I can make it.
