I am working on a quilt for a wedding shower this coming Saturday. I have it ready to quilt but not sure what type of designs to do on it. Please give me your advice on what I should do.
Thanks

Feathers would be a beautiful addition to your gorgeous quilt!

I have this pattern in my "to do" list so have never quilted it - will watch this string to see what is suggested. Hope mine comes out as beautiful as yours!

would feathers be too much if I did them in each color?

The nice thing is that you have large areas to work in and showcase the quilting. I would recommend finding a design that works in the widths of the rows and runs continually. Then I would follow that design along the row as if it ran under the pieces that crosses, continuing the layered effect of the pattern.

I think feathers would be beautiful. Would you share the name of the pattern?

Labyrinth. I bought the kit from Keepsake Quilting. It was very easy to go together. I just have the hardest time deciding what to quilt.

Thanks for info. It is a beautiful gift. Add: I just looked up the pattern and it's from another Texan! Her name is Debbie Maddy and I love the patterns.
