Cannot Decide How To Quilt This

With all the straight lines, I know I want something that will have some nice curves in an all-over pattern. Other than that, I am not sure. Do you have some ideas? Oh, by the way, I named it "Seattle".

Feathers and swirls? Swirls and pebbles? Baptist fan? I am better at coming up with custom quilting ideas than E2E, but I hope these help you in your process of figuring out how to quilt this beauty!

I would do feathers. Lovely fabrics and quilt pattern btw:)

Big flowers or fans in each block?

Wow, I had not thought of feathers! I could make them any size I want, or even different sizes. Thanks so much.

Well, the Seattle area has been very windy the last couple of days, so maybe parallel horizontal curves that make you think of wind?

I have no idea on how to quilt it as I always send mine to a LA. I just wanted to tell you your quilt is beautiful. Love your fabric choices. Good luck on ideas and I am sure someone on this board will be very helpful for you.

Not sure but love your colors.

Feathers sound lovely on that graphic quilt.

Feathers, all over! Have feather creative fun while you go, recreating your own style. Did that on a queen size "Circle A-Round" quilt and the more you do the better it gets! btw, what is the name of this quilt design. It is beautiful.

Coffee mugs with steam rising?

(I like silly quilting)

All over swirls, feathers or quilting cat's idea of wavy horizontal lines !

Lovely quilt!

You have made a lovely quilt. Hop you can decide on a pattern that pleases you.

Actually, I do not know the name of it. I Saw a picture online of a lady getting ready to sandwich one and loved it. I guessed at how big to cut the pieces. Did you want the sizes?

I have gotten some interesting ideas on the quilting. The coffee cups idea made me smile. I did iced tea pitchers, and lemon slices one time (on a tumbler).

It is really beautiful.

I would! And I bet some other members would too - I really like this and it would make a great scrap quilt!

For GEMRM and anyone else who may be interested. This is how I drew it in my EQ5.

Oh my goodness. It popped into my head last night. Since the state of Washington is so famous for them--- how about apples. Someone told me years ago to look for simple shapes in kids coloring pages online. I found this and drew it out on plastic and made myself a template.

Your quilt is beautiful. Love the colors. I'm no help with quilting...have trouble with quilting ideas myself.
