quilting "boxes of strings" ?
I have finished the top of "boxes of Strings". I looking for suggestions on how to quilt it. I have a LA. I like to free-motion feathers, teardrops, flowers, leaves, swirls, etc. But I do not do ruler work. Or at least I don't like to do it as it is so tedious. However, if I get that as the response that it would be best for this pattern I might have to try. Thank you in advance if you make a suggestion.

Curves, via feathers or otherwise could work well.
However, I don't know the "Boxes of Strings" pattern, so if you would show us a photo,
I and others may have different thoughts as to what might work well.

I'm not good about posting pictures but AngelaNR has a tut on Basic Instructions for Boxes of Strings with pictures.

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.
