    Beautiful! Love the colors and your piecing is fantastic but I adore your batik color choices! IMHO I would keep the quilting simple and let your piecing shine though. Glad you’re feeling better!

    Your choice of colors in the batiks is wonderful. The pattern just flows together. As for quilting, have you considered edge to edge designs. I have composed designs and made them linear and quilted edge to edge. I like to do that because it makes handling a big quilt easier on my DSM.

    Now you have a back story to go along with your quilt. So sorry for your woes, but the end result is perfect.
    The colors and pattern are amazing. May I ask what is the name of the pattern?

    My Daughter-in-law had seen a picture, from her description, This is what I came up with. This laid on the floor for a month with layout changing daily. I used Marti Michell templates. The blocks finished at 12 in.
    Thank you

    Beautiful top!

    I'd go with an all over design as well rather than trying to make it fit with the blocks. Something subtle that let the quilt design shine through.

    Or if you wanted to do something spectacular in each block, Westalee has a ruler called Circles on Quilts that you could use to do quilted 3/4 circles in those areas. Sure would look sharp but it would take some time. You'd put the pin in the centre of each circle and quilt a few lines however far apart you'd like them on the closed part of the 3/4 circle. The ruler is super easy to use.

    Whatever you do, this is going to be fabulous.

    Not a very good example...I should have done the circles in a dark colour, but here's the idea.....After awhile it would form a pattern.[ATTACH=CONFIG]611933[/ATTACH]
