Quilting suggestions, Please!
 

I am all ready to quilt this wall hanging and am at a loss as to how to quilt it! My first thought was a spiral or concentric circles in the main panel and something else for the border. Quite frankly, I am losing patience with this project! No matter how careful I was in cutting and piecing my seams are off! Never again will I make a quilt that calls for 1/8" seam allowances! I was hoping this would be good enough to enter in a show, but I think I am just going to have to enjoy it on my wall! Pleas offer up any suggestions you may have!

By the way, the quilt is a "fractured quilt" it is supposed to appear as if you are looking through fractured glass!

"Fractured glass".....there's your answer!

I love your quilt! I don't know if this would take away from the "fractured" look of the quilt, but I think I would try to reinforce the shape of the flower. Pebble the center, then use curvy, flame-type quilting on the petals.

Love your quilt. I am the worst to figure out how to quilt a quilt, but I agree with wesing.

Looks gorgeous to me!

I'm gonna vote with the others who said follow the flower.

Very nice.

Stunning quilt. I would stitch in more lighting bolt lines rather than circles but then I have never quilted anything like this. I don't blame you about the 1/8 seam. In over 25 years of quilting, I have NEVER heard of THAT before. It is absolutely gorgeous.

this seems like the best solution to me, also

Thank you for the suggestions, I never thought about tracing the flower! That sounds great! I have to get out of the mentality of doing the same thing on the entire quilt!
