I always heard to use curves on an quilt with lots of angles. It softens the effect.

Since I can't figure out how to show you this. Here's a link that I have that has all different kinds of stencils to sort of show you. :lol: :lol:

I figured since its geometric adding a different type of quilting would add some movement. :-D

I agree with using curved stitching. I think it would be a big plus to the geometrics. I never go with my first ideas anyway.

how much quilting do you want to do on the piece

If I were handquilting this pattern (which I love btw!) I would stitch one eighth of an inch inside the pinks, making a rectangle, then the star square would get stitched just inside the seams, and the purple... just my two cents.

Do a search. I can't figure out how to get the link to you!!

Here is the first six rows spread over the back of my sofa. The star blocks are 5" finished. I have no idea how much quilting to put into this, but I was hoping if y'all could see the actual quilt top, you might come up with a plan for the quilting.

6 rows of 11

Susie,
I went and looked at the She wants circles...wow, that looks great!! I will not be using a LAQ, so I have to do templates (which I have never done!!) and do it by hand or figure out some design I can do on my Viking. Sure appreciate you pointing that one out to me!

What a lovely mix of colors, not to bright but
just right. I love it. Also, I agree that at least on
the outside curves or waves would be nice. Can't
make up my mind on the inside, that is full of
straight lines.
