Need ideas on how to quilt.
They are long--about 12/13" by 55" The bottom one has a bigger bottom border. I'm thinking raindrops echoed--but need more ideas. My sketch of suns is not working. I want to do some wild quilting on these.

I myself would ditch in each blocks and shadow. Can you FMQ a design that fits in each square? I love crosshatching so I would fill in the background with that simple straight stitch You made a very attractive modern quilt.

I might do matches ( the tiny side by side lines) quilting in the shadows to unify it but use a different FMQ design in each square. I might do simple cross hatch, stipple or pebbles in the sashing. Very pretty!

Thanks for the idea... I'll definitely matchstick the shadows. I was playing around with sketching it divided into 5 sections on a diagonal--then blend a change in motifs through each section.... hmmm.... But I'd want to set off the squares.
