I could really use some input (before I meander the heck out of it😄

If you meander, I would do a larger meander or loops and feathers. Something softer. Anxious to see other comments.

I would do continuous curve (orange peel) in the border squares, then probably meander the heck out of the middle!
I LOVE the colors of this quilt.

I love SITD. It will accent your lovely piecing. You could easily cross hatch the border stitching thru the center of the small squares. I have always preferred the look of how hand quilters quilt.

I have seen an actually bear paw print quilted into the Bear Paw in each block.

Very pretty, but no suggestions on how to quilt it.

I would cross hatch the outer border, then do a loopy, swirly meander on the inside to soften the straight lines of the pattern....very pretty quilt!

Piano key every other row on border.....diagonals in four directions thru center of claws thru the whole body of quilt...will be enough to secure sandwich, but not to detract from your great piecing.....
