Thanks to all for the suggestions on how to quilt it.....No pattern - I just cut the center part from yardage and then framed it with a 1" border and decided on scrappy paper pieced flying geese for the outside border....added cornerstones to "anchor" the piece. Easy peasy!!

where did you find the center print? I love it.
I would either outline the larger items (veg's and such) or just stitch in the ditch around the large print.

I can't help with the quilting, but the table runner is very pretty.

I would stitch in the ditch of the triangles of the geese and in the ditch around the centerpiece. I wouldn't mess with the flowers or anything else in the center.

Very pretty piece!

Gorgeous, of course, I would do a stipple or whatever you call it, kind of large. This is how I quilt most everything, just my favorite and my opinion.
