this is so cute. Perhaps some kind of twig/leaf in the background of the owls--of course I'm a SID kinda person, so whoooo am I to know.

Can you meander FMQ? If so then I would meander the blocks around the owls and SID the outlined details of the owls and SID the sashing.

Beautiful job BTW! :thumbup:

OMG, so cute, you could echo around the owls, I might even consider a large cross hatch. But I am looking at it as a hand quilter. I have seen some great overall machine patterns. I am sure you will get a lot of ideas from the machine quilters. But it is just so cute.

That is adorable! I agree that a leaf pattern would be pretty.

I would do some echo quilting around every other owl block and perhaps some radiating lines going outward in the others or straight lines. something different anyway.
great blocks!
