Square in a square

You could also do just straight stitch quilting. About a 1/4" from every other line. Down then across, starting in the center and working out to bottom, then top and out to each side.
Very pretty.

I like the idea of the orange peel quilting but if you don't like that you might try concentric squares around the outer part of each square. This would emphasize the squares and you could use a walking foot if you wanted.

I made a similar quilt when our DD married 7 years ago. I hand quilted entwined hearts on it, took forever as it's a large queen size. But here's a picture in case you're thinking of something like that. [ATTACH=CONFIG]446144[/ATTACH][ATTACH=CONFIG]446145[/ATTACH]

Jenny Doan does a tute on a Square in a Square using a Jelly roll, a charm pack and I can't remember what she calls the 1 1/2" strips. I made one and it is so cute. I am planning on making another one. Only bad thing - it was kind of boring. But I guess some quilts are kind of boring when you do the same thing over and over and over.

Just looking at a different blog & she offers a video clip on Tartan's quilting idea, you just need to scroll to the cathedral one. http://kelbysews.blogspot.ca/p/tutorials.html
