I am the same as you, I have mainly done straight line quilting. But I stepped out of my comfort zone recently and did some quilted cushion covers with CURVED lines of stitching! Oooohhh…scary! Hehe. I used plates as a guide to mark curves and crescents, you can use anything round to get the size you want. On your quilt you could do ‘bubbles’ – just do lots of circles of different sizes close together, or spaced apart. I can recommend circles as it gets you out of the straight line comfort zone, but not too complicated. One tip – sew slowly!

You could tie it at all the corners of the blocks.

Very nice and I can't wait to see how you quilt it.

I can't wait to see how I quilt it, too!

Nice quilt top!

Very nice!! The diagonal quilting is pretty easy (even I can do that -- if I draw lines) and looks fancier than just straight quilting. But even straight quilting is nice!! Don't forget to show up pictures when you get it done.

I love your quilt. VERY PRETTY :D

Very nice! I also lack the quilting skills and just do straight lines. You could either stitch in the ditch or do diagonals in the squares!

Problem solved. Jackie is going to do it for me! And it will be AWESOME!
