I finished two "box of strings" earlier this summer and I did "wavy quilting" and it complemented the geometric look of the blocks well. I would do this again. It was fast, did not hide the beauty of the fabrics and a good exercise for me to learn a new simple technique.

awesome thanks for the pictures, great ideas. I do like the first one too and the last one looks to be easier for me if I don't want to use a ruler to make them straight like the first one. Did you do anything in the black diamonds?

I SITD the black diamond and did a straight line down the middle to get to the next diamond. I kept my quilting simple since it was so big to quilt on a sewing machine. Since you have a long arm, do what you are good at.
