That’s lovely!
The first thing that came to mind was to outline the bears, trees, grass, water, fish.
Then under the green grass I might try to follow the bottom outline of the bottom of the grass most of the way to the bottom of the piece except stop at the border.
In the area between the trees I might quilt some simple freehand birds.
The borders might just be a meander.
I don’t know what the white thing is at the bottom.

I don't have the ability to do this but I'm sure you do!
:-D

I really like your quilt. Not very good at FMQ. (I am just learning myself) What is the pattern called?

Thanks for the ideas! The white thing on bottom is a white flower. I like the idea of the birds, I think I will practice that before I quilt. :D

The pattern is "Cub Scouts" by Pine Needles.

Very pretty - would love the pattern - if you have the name. may I have it? I live in the woods in NW MT & our furniture has bears, moose, ducks in a pond, etc on it - this would match well.
