Awesome quilt! Since so many straight lines, maybe something circular?

That's another great idea...Thank you.

As beautiful as this is and with you doing this without a pattern I am sure that whatever you come up with will be super. You have a lot of talent and this will be stunning when you are finished. BrendaK

Awwww...thank you. That is so sweet of you to say. I will try to be as creative as possible. I have a few ideas thanks to the suggestions here. Hopefully the old brain will start moving forwards soon! :D

Makes a nice movement of the pattern and simple to do. Look up Images of this pattern to see some. I've yet to make this pattern myself but it's on my list.

I agree with this suggestion. Crosshatching is one of the two methods of quilting I can do. I sitd and ch, that's it. It's not as great as more advanced quilting but it works....and I think it would be effective on this quilt. BTW, it's a beautiful quilt.

I think that the squares invite something flowing like leaves and vines. I am working on one right now and it is coming up really cute.

Love your borders! Not often a bargello includes one, but this is a wonderful quilt. When you solve the quilting problem, please show us the final quilt.

I hope my quilting skills are up to par! LOL Quick learning curve here! I have never attempted feathers before. Always a first time for everything, seeing that this is my first Bargello that I made without a pattern. :)

If you quilt feathers in the body of the quilt take at least 2 rows of colors (if not more) to put the feathers in...making some large feathers. Have you searched here on the board for pictures of finished Bargello quilts or looked on Pinterest to get quilting ideas?

not sure how to quilt it but its beautiful!!!!

Your wonderful borders give this quilt an Indian blanket look, feathers would be appropriate, I think I would play up that look.

That is an interesting quilt. I wish I had enough nerve to do a bargello. Sorry I cannot help you on hand stitching.
