It is such a beautiful quilt. I just want to say, sometimes simpler is better when it comes to the design of the quilt. You really don't want to detract from the beauty of the colors of the quilt, or the eagles. I like the suggestion of quilting some eagles in the background, or other types of animals, but be very careful you don't take away the symmetry of the quilt. I am so sorry that the quilt hasn't talked to you yet. I would not SID though but my suggestion is look under pictures here for "Charisma". She is my idol when it comes to quilting and you may get some ideas from her pictures.

I saw the braids as looking like mountains, so my mind went in the same direction as CKCowl's ... more birds quilted in and in different flight positions. Other quilting keeping with a natural/wilderness feel.

QuiltForMe ... you have an outstanding quilt and have taken the French Braid concept, over and above! Perfect fabric selections and usage.

I think your quilt is beautiful. Is it just me.....I see a mountainous background with a lake off centre right, and mountainous foreground. Some quilted trees would be lovely

I love the idea of wind currents and trees in the quilting. Oh dang girl, you've out done yourself now. I think I want to do something similar for my now adult Eagle Scout son. I am just blown away.

Beautiful quilt, I agree that the quilting should be kept simple just enough to enhance it!!!!

Swirls of wind with some tall skinny pines and maybe another bird or two flying in the distance. Beautiful quilt!
