Beautiful quilt! Just do cross hatching, either horizontal & vertical or diagonal. Don't need to be really dense, like 2 " apart. Just make sure the lines go all the way across the quilt, like they go in back of the appliques straight across.

That is just gorgeous. So beautiful. Can't wait to see it finished.

WOW...Beautiful! Nobody would have thought you were a beginning quilter when you started this one!

Lovely quilt! Looking forward to seeing it finished!

Great quilt glad you decided to finish this.

Very very nice

Nice job. Its a beautiful sampler. What about some appropriately spaced straight line quilting. It would give a modern feel to the traditional quilt. Or if you prefer traditional quilting, you could do stitch-in-the-ditch with a cross hatch pattern in the open spaces. My personal feeling is a finished quilt is a great feeling of accomplishment. Perfect or not. I am sure you will get some great suggestions on quilting. Or may you can send it out to a long arm quilter to quilt? Either way I love your quilt top!

So happy you finished the top. It's beautiful! If you have a local quilt shop maybe take it there and they can give you some quilting ideas. I always struggle with how to quilt them too but have gotten great suggestions from the ladies and gentlemen here. Can't wait to see what you decide to do. :)
