Original Design Fairy and Birds - no idea how to quilt it
#1
This is a wall hanging for my almost 2 year old daughter. She loves fairies and birds, so i wanted to do something interesting for her. She loves the color purple too, so I found some tone on tone purples and came up with this idea. Now that the top is done with fusible applique and some lace (my lovely DD is such a girly girl) I have no idea how to quilt it. Any suggestions are appreciated.
Thanks!
Thanks!

I would quilt in the veins on the leaves and on the feathers, outline 3 times for all of the figures and then do either a meandering or a feather stitch. I would do something unexpected like a double diamond design in the borders.
Lovely, most important is to have fun with it

This is beautiful! I would print out several copies of a picture of it and start doodling to see what looks best. Also try checking out Leah Day's FMQ website for ideas.

I would quilt it with a lavender thread that gets lost in the background. I would quilt a hummingbird in the upper right corner, quilt around the leaves and the other two hummingbirds, then a little whispy meander to fill in.. not really tight meander, just loose and whispy.
