How would you machine quilt this?
#1
I've finished this quilt for my parents - first queen sized quilt, and I DON'T DO hand work - hate it! So I was wondering, does swirly curly quilting patterns look strange on geometric shaped pieced tops, or should I stick to the ditch?

I think what I'm going to do is outline each 9-patch block using a SID, using a decorative stitch, then on the inside of each block I'll do a different free motion design. Should be interesting, and break things up, and separate one design from another. Thanks for all the suggestions!

I often do swirly whirly curly machine quilting on very geometric tops. I think it softens them up some, and adds another dimension to the design.
HOWEVER....this one doesn't need help at all. If you do SID it would remain a very strong design... and it looks great!!!
