P.S. Nice quilt!

I like the idea of an overall design. Check this blog.
She has a quilt with stars and stripes and the wavy lines really make
the quilt pop.

I really don't have any ideas for quilting design. Just wanted to tell you what a beautiful and meaningful quilt you made. My son is a cop but not yet retired so this gives me an idea for him if you don't mind me copying your idea. Thank you for sharing such a wonderful quilt.

I have attached a very rough sketch. Your lines would be smoother and in white and maybe closer together. You could do this with a walking foot. or free motion. Just be sure to mark your straight lines well so you stay straight .
