your quilt is beautiful, don't have any advise...what ever you decide will be beautiful....

The choice of leaf placement will be dependent on what batting you used - whether the quilting needs to be close (2-4") or farther apart. I do like the leafy design, it's simple and very pretty - it will also compliment the quilt without "taking over".

Rose, I'm using Dream Orient and will be doing SID along the seams between the blocks and maybe more so I should be OK. Thanks for your interest!!

Absolutely gorgeous. Have no help on the quilting because I can't FMQ at all. Someone here will be able to help you. These ladies are smart that are on this board. Great job.:thumbup:

That is a gorgeous quilt! :) You are very accomplished! I like your leafy design, but I'd add more leaves, just because it's such a large space. I think 4 would be a minimum. Or you could make the leaves bigger and add veins to their centers. Veins don't have to all be identical and waviness is often a plus, so they'd be fairly easy on a dsm. Good luck to you! Lucky giftee!

Yes, I like that viney look you came up with, too!

I agree, not more leaves, but bigger ones. Will have to experiment with the vein as I want to do it continuously. Will try both ways! Thanks for the input!

do you know anyone who has an embroidery machine? You can quilt it with one of them

Beautiful quilt and you did a great job. I love how it drapes on your bed.
Good luck with all the choices listed on the quilting part.
