Hi everyone! I just finished piecing this lap quilt together and I am looking for quilting ideas. I am a hand quilter and I feel like I always do the same things! Take a look and let me know what all you talented quilters think! Thanks and have a great day! 🌻

depends on the look you want... Traditional fancy feathers in the white, or try the new fad of curved crosshatching?
Modern? straight lines all the way across, then maybe some simple applique sprinkled on the top?
Just my thoughts of what I might do.

I hand quilt everything. I would echo stitch each "piano key" and use a design from a stencil in the borders...sometimes you can create a border pattern using ideas from stencils...This is where I order my stencils from- cheap and lots to choose from or look for ideas http://quiltingstencils.com/viewallblocks.aspx

Yes, the white sashing and the borders are excellent places to show off your talents. I love cables; feathers; vines. I think something very 'flowing' in those areas would 'soften' the straight lines of the quilt - if that's the look you'd like to go with.
