Oooh Lara that is beautiful! On the Fence rail I recently did I did a serpentine stitch over the seams in place of SITD. But for your question I would vote for squares inside the squares.

Beautiful RF quilt!! I love the colors! I never am satisfied with my straight line quilting so I would make fmq all over.' like leaves, flowers, hearts.. even writing words and messages in the quilting.. I do have a grace frame and machine that I use for quilting. so I use the machine like a pen and draw my designs.. quilting is fun!! so many ways to do it and exciting ideas to do! Love it!

Everything about this quilt is lovely! I'd try to use curved quilting on it as well.

How about curls? They will set off the squares nicely and they are very forgiving for inexperienced quilters.

I love this idea! That would go quickly and the walking foot helps eliminate puckers!

I think curves would compliment your beauty.
