Lots of good ideas on here. Not sure which one I like best. I feel a little scared to do echo quilting. Afraid I would mess up such a pretty quilt. However, if I did cross hatching in the middle like SassySewer suggested I could use my walking foot to make it a little easier. I will post pictures when I get it finished. It may not be for a few days. I also have two other quilts sandwiched and ready to go.

Ooh, I could use the walking foot to help with the echo quilting. Maybe crosshatching with echo quilting around the stars, something in the border and stars in the dark blue corners like kwiltcrazy suggested.

I agree with littlehud. Straight quilting through the diagnoal blocks, you could even, if you have the capability use a twin needle for this - would look awesome. Echoing around the stars would set them off nicely.

On your borders you could continue the theme with continuous line stars. I'm sorry I can't find my link, but if you google free continuous line quilt designs you'll find some sites with free patterns and great ideas.

Found it!! http://www.allcrafts.net/quilting.htm I would have taken directly to the continuous designs, but there's sooo much at this site that's great to see. Just scroll down and you'll see it. :thumbup:

I do meandering on most of my quilts too. I haven't yet done one that did not look ok with meandering.

I like your green stars
