Because it is so linear, I would definitely do something wavy thru the pencil bodies. I like the idea of echo stitching inside the pencil points to define them, perhaps all the quilting in a neutral - maybe a taupe for bottom row and a light grey for top row. I might audition a small white band at the bottom of the pencils just to stop the eye. I really like this top, so crisp and clean looking.

I love your quilt-no help with the quilting as I send mine out!

Straight stitch in the ditch on each pencil, then three serpentine stitch rows going down each pencil. LOVE YOUR QUILT!!!

I just saw this pattern over the weekend and I love yours! As for the quilting, my first though was to mimic a #2 pencil and make a couple of straight lines to give the illusion of a hexagon, the other thought was use a wood grain design. No matter what you decide it's going to be awesome! :thumbup:

I'd like to echo JMoore - the edge foot that she mentions reminds me a bit of the prow of an ice-breaker. It is almost impossible to do a bad job of stitching in the ditch with it because the prow/forward edge likes to be right on the place where the two fabrics join.

If you want tp play, try putting a different shape or design of quilting in each pencil or do several that have a match in texture to become an “I spy” kind of thing. Beautiful quilt BTW.

What an awesome top! I’d do a random meander all over, but you may be more talented than me with quilting.
