if you are worried about not quilting enough for the batting, you could just do a couple of straight lines in the block but I would do them at angles. one tilting one direction and the other tilting across it in a bit of different direction. sort of like an off kilter plus sign. very off.

I have used lots of high loft poly batting, in fact I would like to use nothing but that, can't always find it. I do FMQ and it works very well. Poly blends are suppose to outlast cotton.

A bit more quilting in the 8 inch blocks? In keeping with the circle theme, you could hand-quilt perfect circles inside each square. It would really puff up with the high loft batting. One perfect circle inside each square.

This is beautiful! I think if it were me, I'd look for some buttons that went with the fabric (love that fabric) & tie each block in the middle with them. Just a thought...

I like the idea of babtist fans for the quilting since that's what is in the fabric. Looks beautiful!

As for the poly, the question seems to have been answered. BOY HOW I LOVE THAT PRINT. Please post another pic when it's finished.

It is gorgeous... it cries out to me for loose baptist fans in the arcs to pouf out the roses. I love that fabric.
