Thank you Gay--wish I felt confident enough to do an all over scroll but the only thing I've ever done is straight lines so I will have to practice on something smaller first. 😀

Thank you quiltnnan--I may try this one but will draw lines on the quilt with disappearing pen so I don't get off track.

A beautiful quilt - can't wait to see the quilting you decide on! Sorry, I have no opinion here.

Thank you Tartan! I didnt know that so will definitely keep that in mind if I SITD.
