Hand, DSM, or longarm? I personally would big stitch hand quilt it (maybe Baptist Fans), but not everyone does that:o

LOL I am no help because as a beginner I can only meander, stipple and loops to actually make it look good. But I love your quilt top!

I am not good w/ the line drawer and the mouse but this is an idea of what I saw.

In the blue sashing areas I would do an the chevron in all 4 directions basically echoing the lines. In the white sashing the lines of beads or circles the size of the squares then the big messy drawing only represents a continuous line medallion.

What a lovely quilt! I think your choice of designs depends a lot on your skill level and what kind of quilting you like. Curves or straight lines? Heavy quilting or light? Custom quilting to fit the blocks or an all-over design? It will be beautiful whatever you decide.

Thank you! It's the blue that I was stumped on ! Wanted to see how I could highlight those areas along with the stars

I like Kassaundra's idea but would want to have the star cornerstones really stand out, so would probably only SID with them and then do a tight chevron on the blue sashings. Individual motifs on the blocks---I would do continous curves on the red & Blues to form a curved X and then either do a straight line (long ways) though the tan or more if wanting denser quilting, or a chevron in the tan to continue the chevron idea from the blue in the sashings.

Pretty top! I would SITD the blue dashing to stabilize it first. I then would did the orange peel continuous design in the 16 patches but I would do angles instead of curves so they look like stars. I would do the chevrons in the blue borders following the center squares. Since that is a lot of straight lines, I would use my ruler foot and ruler so I wouldn't have to turn the quilt.

Love your quilt. Great job. I like the "Xes" and would quilt around them so they "pop".

I quilted my stars 1/4" in to feature them. Orange peel on the 16 patches, though I'd probably treat them a four patches and only do 4 orange peels in each. A spiral in the square in the center of the star. Smallish stipple in the cream. Inge's chevrons in the blue, but not into the stars. That only leaves the tan center in the blue. Let it speak to you. Another spiral, maybe.
