Beautiful quilt! Good luck what ever you decide.

This is beautiful and I think your plan for the white area is great. There is a technique called "continuous curve" that might work for the eagle. It's easy and fairly fast and can be done on a longarm or on a regular machine. There is a Youtube video that gives general instructions if you google continuous curve quilting.

That's what I was thinking but not sure I like in-the-ditch stitch.

I would do a straight stitch on the diagonal. That is popular machine stitch these days and is easy to do with the walking foot that comes with the quilter. Very nice quilt!

That is gorgeous!!! Either way it is going to enhance your beautiful quilt :!:

I love your quilt top. I would try to do a diagonal curve from one upper corner to the opposite bottom corner to give it a look like the bird has feathers (not the regular feather design you see on many quilts).

Thanks,
