ideas for quilting?
[ATTACH=CONFIG]483424[/ATTACH]Here are a couple of the blocks on a big quilt I'm working on. Does anyone have any thoughts on how I could quilt this? I'm at a loss. This has been in my to do pile for the longest time!

The block looks like a flower to me. I think I might use the new Tuesday Tutorial to make a FMQ rose in the flower part. I would surround one big rose with leaves or stipple to fill the square. The FMQ tutorial posted today is at www.theinboxjaunt.com/

I would SITD in the green stashing and outline the flower and the leaves. I would stipple in what ever stitch you are comfortable with doing maybe circles in the background. I would do some curve quilting and echo it in the flower. I would draw your block on paper and try some doodling. Might just crosshatch the border if that is where the leaves are. That kind of stitching always looks so soft and pleasant when mixed with appliques. Cute fabrics !!

Thanks everyone for your great ideas! I really appreciate it. Gotta get the kid off to school, go to the doctor, then the grocery store, THEN I'm gonna get started on this. Day-to-day sure interferes with quilting, doesn't it?

Echo quilting around the large flower was my thought too. But easy for me to say and not do as I can't FMQ myself! Lovely quilt!

What about rounded flower petals inside the flowers with the rounded ends coming out to the points on the flowers - so there'd be maybe one long one and two shorter ones in each section for a total of twelve per flower. Then a leaf theme meander around the flowers.
My brain can see it but I know I'm not describing it very well.
