    Bree123 - Your imaginative quilting suggestion is pure genius! I would have never seen beehives, honey jars, and bees in that quilt until you drew them in.

    I love the idea so much I may have to steal it for a quilt of my own.

    I have put on the border and it looks nice. Makes a big difference.
    Bree's idea is REALLY cute, but those circles are calling to me. I'm thinking concentric circles in each block and then I'll do something to match in the border.
    The idea of the serpentine down the centre of each strip I kind of like, too.
    Nothing is carved in stone, so any other ideas are appreciated.
    I wish I could do spirals, because I'd do an all-over spiral design.

    I "auditioned" the circles using cling film and I didn't like it. Then, I spent far too many hours trying to find an all-over pattern that I could do that would look nice.
    Now, I'm back to square one. Which means I have no idea how to quilt this.
    As my SO says, "Good thing there's no expiration date on it."

    What about doing some circles, but combining those with other linear elements?

    You could call this "A time to love"

    Or, instead of doing 4 hearts, you could do that fleur de lis looking thing that's on the purple fabric on the right & left sides of the motif.
