How would you quilts this please
Need to get this UFO done. Quilting through all these teams on my domestic isn't going to work so I would like to send it a long armer I would like the quilts to show up more than the actual quilting. Can anyone help me with some specific suggestions. Thank you.

Gorgeous and I can see why you want the pattern to show. Go over to a quilt site that you like the quilting on and take pictures with you? I'm thinking either Judi Madsen or Angela Walters sites. They both do great negative space quilting.
Myself I would do ruler work in the cream spaces between the designs fairly densely and simple ruler work in the different bands of colours within the designs.

Your top is just stunning. Do you have a long arm quilter in mind? Are they local? I would set up a meeting with them, bring the top and ask to see some of their work. They will probably have some good suggestions. Also, be prepared to discuss the charges. Any custom quilting is going to be at a higher rate than an edge to edge.
Be aware, however, that this time of year unless you have an appointment made last month you may need to postpone this meeting until after the holidays. Most of the quilters around here are not taking any more tops.

Good point about the time of the year! I have worked with a longarmer before so I get the cost thing
this one took so many months I want to get it just right!
