I too hope you have some skills at FMQ. This is a stunning quilt. I would stitch in the ditch with all the flying geese. In the black square background. I would draw lines to quilt (only in the black) like rays of sunrise radiating out from from the corner of each block.

In the red & purple part of the edges of a lone star, SITD than you can do an arch on each side of each diamond. The curve is only no more than 1/2 inch.

The outside edge of the lone star of the black and blue pointed edges I would just SITD.

What to do with the larger blue background and soft multicolor, I am not sure. I would certainly see as many other quilted tops from Judy's pattern by Google this pattern and then clicking on the photo gallery Google has on any search. Good Luck !!

I applaud anyone who can FMQ on a regular machine. All I have ever done is little wall hangings. Mostly I hand quilt anything that is bigger than 2 feet. Whatever you pick, I do hope you will show us some closeups when you are finished.

Thanks everyone for the complements! I was not looking for them at all. This quilt top was completed several months ago, and I have been stewing about how to quilt it. A friend suggested I post it on this board, and I am overwhelmed with all your responses. You have provided new ideas for me to consider, which has energized me to get serious about completing it. Thanks to you all!

I agree to sitd a good amount of it but I would also elongate some of the points. Make it look like the are continuing beyond what we can see

Absolutely gorgeous top. No idea about the quilting but amazing work and color placement. Welcome.

Took my breath away. An amazing quilt. Sorry, I do just basic FMQ and not very good at that. There seem to be some good suggestions here though, a I bet you get some more. Please post when it's all done.
