Much as I love to piece quilts, I'm a complete blank when it comes to quilting the thing. I want to machine quilt this, and do not free motion quilt well, at all! Any one have any suggestions on how to quilt this? I can see the obvious straight lines in the blue diamonds, and what do I do with the red/blue squares? Help please!!!

Stitch in the ditch is always an option. When I first started quilting that's all I was comfortable with anyhow.
You could quilt in a straight line from the red tips out to the blue tips or the edge of the border. Maybe a four pointed star in the center of the red blocks.

Everything I made for 20 yrs. was stitch in the ditch & it worked on everything. Just use thread the color of the background for most of it & then change to either the red or blue for the rest of it(like the red square inside of the designs). BTW, beautiful quilt!
