Default how do I search for quilting designs?

I have a quilt with ohio stars that I need to get some ideas for. This quilt is a charity quilt for Aid to Adoption for Special Needs Children. I have quilted baby ones for them but this is more of a twin. I LA quilt free motion and computer. I can do feathers and swirls and can use the Pro-Stitcher (older model HQ-16) but a couple of the stars have an applique in the center so I think I would just like to free motion. I am good with doing the borders with feathers and leaves around the borders that are around the stars. There are twenty, but what do I do on the stars that is not too time consuming. I thought that I would like to see the quilting by the others on this board and I bookmark so much but trying to find the pictures of the beautiful quilting I have seen when I go to the "pictures" means going through so many that are not just of quilting and then I spend hours and hours looking. So if you know of some that you can share or ideas of what to quilt on/around the stars please do.

if you go to the top of the page there is a small box in front of a magnifying glass, I typed in quilting designs and there's a list: maybe there is something there you would be interested in: hope this helps...

There is an album of Ohio Start quilts in our gallery, you might get some ideas there. Here's a link: http://www.quiltingboard.com/members...bums16952.html

they're designed for DSM but most could be done on a LA, I think.

Natalia Bonner also has bunches of LA designs on YouTube based on her books.

If you can view youtube, Angela Walters has several nice videos of FMQ designs. I also love the Tuesday Tutorials done by Lori Kennedy at www.theinboxjaunt.com

I use to go to a lot of quilt shows and Shop Hops and the first thing I would search for are their selection of quilting stencils.
