Quilting Suggestions for Diamond Ring??
So I've finished the top for my parents' 60th Anniversary quilt, pin-basted it, and now I'm stuck. It's been nearly a year and I really want to get this done. I plan to outline all the rings, and probably the diamonds in all the arcs too. I just can't decide what to do in the ring centers. The quilt on the pattern leaflet was done with diagonal lines that formed an "X" in all the centers. I am not sure I want to do that since nearly half the centers contain signatures or messages. I am afraid it will obscure the writing. But it will definitely need some quilting in those large center sections. I have considered invisible nylon thread, but it's not my first choice.
Any ideas? Thanks for your input!

Very pretty! The only thing I can think of without messing up the writing, is underlining the text every other line? You could also meander with invisible thread, for some reason meandering to me looks like a non pattern and I don't really notice it.

I googled the diamond wedding ring quilt & found some images that clearly show the quilting, maybe one of them might give you an idea? http://quiltinspiration.blogspot.ca/...rt-2-judy.html
