It seems like you've gotten some good suggestions & I can't wait to see how it turns out!

Your machine does 6" across at a time?

I'm seeing two ways to quilt this top. (1) An edge to edge floral design using a dark lavender thread (the top's colors look like lavender and navy on my computer). (2) Stitch in the ditch along the seams of the squares then meander the outside borders. The main thing is to do what you are comfortable with and have fun doing it!

Hey, WSQuilting, I just pulled up the link showing the design you would choose. That is the same one I was thinking about. Great minds think alike! LOL

Overlapping circles all over but not in straight rows.
Or circles in the block, 3 or 4 starting small ,enlarger each addition.

What color is the top? It looks green to me.

You can lighten it up a LOT with thread color. Lighter thread will give it a lighter look. If it's dark, a bright thread will really spark it up.

Oh, hi, my name is Donna and I'm a threadaholic.
