it's a beauty. you could sid on the focus squares and diagonal through each 9-patch square

Beautiful. I love bling, so I like the sequin idea with diagonals through the gold patches.

Maybe do aN "X" in the smaller squares and outline the ornaments in the larger squares?

If not FMQ meandering, then I would outline the center squares and do diagonals on the rest. No matter what, it's gorgeous fabric!

I like TanyaL's idea! Great runner by the way.

I am so glad you posted this I bought this fabric and just wasn't thrilled with it. Your table runner is lovely and gives me inspiration. I would add a thin purple border perhaps then another round of that green to seal the deal. Not sure about the quilting though maybe some of the ornament motifs in the larger areas. What are you using on the back?

no quilting suggestions for you, but it is surely lovely! ;0)
great job!

I like the idea of diagonal lines in the smaller squares and sequins and stitch in the ditch with decorative stitches for the larger blocks. Maybe stitch an occasional star in the smaller squares if you decide to do the Christmas tree pattern instead of the diagonal lines.

I'm glad I read this. I'm getting ready to SID my Thanksgiving runner and a feather-type stitch would probably go great. I knew there was a reason I was procrastinating.

Thank you for all the suggestions! I went with SID around the big blocks and diagonals through the nine patch blocks. It looks really nice!

I loved the suggested about SID with the decorative stitches but I was too scared to try it with this project, since I never really use those stitches so am not familiar with them. I will try it on another project, though.

Thanks again!
