Yes, I used my walking foot to quilt the "tilted" square and FMQ the swirl in the center. I LOVE Jennifer23's picture and idea for quilting the reverse on each alternate square. My problem was I quilted the swirl in the center first on the whole quilt. Once I did that I realized it flattened out the center and so if I quilted around the square too it would be to much quilting. I was NOT going to rip out all those swirls :-) Had I seen something like Jennifer proposed I would have probably gone that route. I decided on the tilted square because it met the requirement of quilting in the square, but not so much quilting that it flattened the whole block down.

Thanks copycat. Gotta love Angela Walters!

I would just do a diagonal grid that connects the center squares.

It would be comparatively easy to do.

I would do an echo around the smaller square.

I would do something 'swirly' in the centers to contrast with the linear blocks. If you feel it needs more than that, perhaps a curvy line in the middle of the outer square. I might do it a bit off center - closer to the inner square. I would use either a variegated blue thread or use 2 thread colors, a dark on the light blue sections and a dark blue on the lighter sections. Please post when done so we can see what you decided to do.

I think I would do a simple diagonal grid design over the top. Try a design on plastic to see how you like it.

I second the diagonal grid. Seems to be my new "go to" and I am liking the end results. Thinking too, it work well with your Square in a square pattern.
