this is phenomenal. I always stitch 1/4 inch from each edge. love it.

Gorgeous quilt top! SITD would be fine if that is what you are confident doing. You could price out how much a long armer would charge to custom quilt it.

WOW! A stunning quilt!

I can't stop looking at this quilt. Everything about it is stunning. Trying to get my courage up to do this pattern. One of my main problems is what color to use and the placement of those colors. Love the celtic knot motif. This would be a great quilt for my sister. She does Celtic dance and loves anything Celtic. BrendaK

Stitch in the Ditch or echo quilting
very pretty |
Beautiful quilt! Look on Googlel, click images and type in Celtic quilting stencils to get some ideas. There are some simple ones that you can custom/modify to your quilt by tracing on paper and quilting over it on your quilt. Love to see what you decide to do and please post your finished quilt :)

So this is my Celtic Knot French Braid quilt, it is one of my very favorite quilts. The only issue I am having right now is deciding on the quilting. I can either free motion (not on a long arm sadly), embroider, or stitch in the ditch. Now I am leaning towards stitching in the ditch, the pattern/embroidery and fabrics speak enough without extras. But would love advice from experienced quilters.

Beautiful quilt no doubt! No matter how you decide to quilt it, it can only make it more beautiful. Can't wait to see if once it is completed.

Maybe if you SID and then embroider the Celtic knots in the black areas, top and bottom.

I would personally do stitch-in-the-ditch so as not to take away from the pattern itself. Can you tell me what pattern you used?
