Shadowbox quilting suggestions needed
I've just completed the Shadowbox quilt pattern by Mountainpeek Creations for my SIL. It went together very easy and is done in all batiks. I would welcome any quilting suggestions you may have. I'm comfortable with FMQ feathers and similar designs and will use my DSM. I want to do more than just SID but nothing really elaborate. Anything particular pop into your head with this pattern? Thank you for all suggestions!

Very nice quilt.
I have one sitting waiting to be sandwiched and quilted, and I think I am doing to do the shadows with straight lines -- in the ditch on both sides and probably 2 lines. I am going to quilt something different in each of the squares -- stippling in one, figure 8's in another, loops in another, etc. etc. For the light sashing strips - I thought that I'd just leave them unquilted, or perhaps a long wavy line. For the borders, don't quite know yet. I think it will depend on what is working well for me at the time.
I'll be watching for other suggestions, and perhaps change my whole plan.

I think I would SITD around the box and the shadow. I would then do a stipple or pebble in the black so it recedes into the background. I would then do a pretty feather in in the box but with nice big petals so it adds texture. I would do feathers in the big border. I think in the white strips, I might leave them plain as you have already SITD around and between them.
