I vote for a Meander. I love to use variegated threads, do you have a variegated thread that has a couple of the colors in there? Or even if you found one in the Teal.

Love the quilt and the fabrics are delightful. What is the name of the pattern? Would love to make one just to use up a bunch of fat quarters that keep piling up on me.

That is a beautiful quilt. I would meander if you don't want to stitch in the ditch. Both would be fine.

The pattern is from Amy Butler "Sexy Hexy Love Quilt." But I made it bigger, to fit on our bed, by adding hexes and half hexes to do it. The pattern is free internet down load.

It's finish! I did a meander with pinkish tan variegated thread. Thanks for everyones help. I like it and it survived the washing machine! The picture was taken before I wash it, just in case.
