Your quilt is amazing. I have admired this quilt one or two other times on the quilting board and yours is no exception! I'd love to make one someday, but I have more to learn on getting a better 1/4 in seam first! Congrats on a beautiful quilt!

What a beautiful quilt. Great job.

I love this quilt - and the one that inspired you. BUT I know that I will never have the patience to make one!

As for quilting suggestions, I would keep it simple so as to not draw attention away from the beautiful piecing. Maybe diagonal cross-hatching. Or even plain straight of grain-of-grain cross-hatching following the main lines of the blocks. Don't drive yourself nuts with the quilting - and, for goodness sakes, don't try to stitch in the ditch!

That's amazing for two such fun blocks to turn into such a fabulous quilt. :D

Sorry to post again. I guess I'm smitten. I've been researching the OhMyGosh quilt and OMGOSH the pieces are TINY!!!!

I would keep the quilting simple. There is already a ton of thread in this quilt.maybe some twirly stars ? You have created a masterpiece here. Congratulations from one scrappy quilt lover to another!!
