    Dollyo - nice quilt and quilting. That one looks doable!

    Everyone has been so helpful, thanks all. I knew I could ask here and find a solution.

    I agree with something different in each block and the modern designs. Love the quilt pattern!

    I was going to suggest zigzags (lightning bolts).

    Somewhere I read that if your quilt has strong linear lines your quilting should have circles or curves. And if the quilt has round circles or curves than the quilting looks best with linear quilting. I have tried to follow this rrule when in doubt about what to pick when fmq. Have fun with it whateve u pick!!!!

    I agree. The quilting will be secondary anyway once he starts using it but if it's in images of his favorite things that would be so cool.

    I think it would be fun to do a different pattern in each rectangle.

    Lightning bolts. Circles. Wavy lines.

    Oh, I like this idea!
