Let yourself use this as a design opportunity! Jan in VA I was thinking the same...with all the open spaces, it would be a shame to SITD on an Irish chain--esp. one with a lighter center square. |
In my last Irish Chain, I cross hatched the chains and did a star-in-a-circle in the blocks.

I made one while I was still hand quilting, don't remember how I quilted it. I made my Son a lickey split quilt, looks very similar and I just did my usual now, Large stipple, I think anyway you do it will be fine. I don't like quilt in the ditch, hard to stay in those ditches.
