I so agree with this. This quilt speaks so beautifully on it's own that the quiting should be very understated so as not to detract. JMHO

super cute...that is awesome! I would do a loose overall meandering - it might look like the path a butterfly takes. I wouldn't want to take away from the pattern on this one.

Absolutely beautiful, I made 2 quilts using that butterfly material. I wish had bought a whole bolt of it, I love it. I usually FMQ all my quilts, I love it.
