I'll choose a color that would look good on those several rows and then do some sort of design, whether its a feather, or just meandering, across those rows. Then I change thread as the colors change. I've drawn on this pink ribbon Bargello to sort of illustrate what I mean. Sorry it's on it's side - don't know what happened!

I think you nailed what to do perfectly! I have wanted to try one and now I am closer to doing it since I've seen how you did the quilting. Thank you for sharing, but then that's what this wonderful group of quilters does!
