I don't have enough of an imagination to answer, but I will say it all depends on which you want to take center stage; the piecing or the quilting. Good luck! Would love to see what you've decided once it's complete!

Have to agree with the others what a really magnificent quilt, love the colour combination, just gorgeous. I too would agree with Kiffie's idea of outlining each block, would love to see it when it's finished.

I would outline quilt the areas you want to stand out in it. I agree with others though about keeping it simple.

Don't hand quilt, so I can't help you there. But I can state, what an amazing quilt you made!

SID would be my choice, but it won't be easy on batik.

That is stunning...absolutely stunning!!!

Can you share what pattern it is for those of us who might want to put this on our "to do" list?

I agree with others that you want to keep it simple. I like the 1/8" seem suggestions. I think anything else might take away from the quilt.

Thanks for sharing!
