Having finished this quilt top a couple of months ago, I am still unsure of the quilting portion and what design to use. Would welcome any suggestions......

It is gorgeous.

Can't help with the quilting suggestions but it sure is a beautiful quilt!

I'm not much help, but your top is absolutely gorgeous!

WOW! What a gorgeous quilt!

Welcome from Louisiana. What a beautiful quilt. I'm not a good quilter but what comes to mind is out line the flowers, stitch in the ditch in some areas, maybe a grid in the green square section and maybe some feathers or flowers in the border. Be sure and show us the finished quilt:)

Are you planning to hand or machine quilt it? If machine quilting, how advanced are you? It looks by your excellent top that you have a lot of sewing experience. I like the Mctavish designs but I also like just a large meander on intricate blocks. So you can either go with individual patterns in each designs or go with a large meander in the center and perhaps some feathers in the border? Look at some of quilts that Charismah has machine quilted to get some idea. Awesome!

Very pretty so far! Perhaps quilt something with swirly flowing lines to complement the square lines~~~

It will be machine quilted. I had a lot of fun piecing this one, but also learned a lot with all the angles and placement of color. Thanks to all for your great comments!

Oh my, love that piece!! I dont have a clue about how to quilt, but......OH MY its beautiful !!!

That is so unique and pretty. Did you design this yourself or is it a pattern of some sort?

Were you planning on handquilting or machine quilting?

If I were quilt it I think I would do this: The flower fabric lends itself to outline quilting the flower and that wonderful veining in each petal. I would then draw the flower and resize it to fit into your setting triangles and the pieced squares. I would try to mimic the leaves of the flower or come up with leaf and vine motif for the stip pieced areas and then I would SID the star blocks, the HST blocks and the pinwheel block. The piano key border could have a continuous feather or again repeat that lilly in your focus fab.

Stunning quilt! I would want to SID all the pieced areas, do a small stipple outlining the 3 printed flowers to make them pop, then add some veins to the flowers. In the solid triangles, I would want to do a feather or just a meander. I would want do all this if my skills were up to the task (which they aren't, I need to practice lots more!!)

The quilt design was from a book called "Beyond the Block" designed by Linda Johnson. She and her sister jane Wells are from Indiana. I have both their books and love their designs! I spent a lot of time assembling fabrics for the quilt before attempting to put it together.

I think you can do different quilting in differing areas.
The concept lends itself to variety.
IMHO.

I agree with the others and would just outline the lilies in the blocks. But that seems to be the easy part of the decision. I'm not sure about the rest. But I would quilt it using diverse design mirroring the varied look of the pieced top.

Beautiful!!!!

Wow that is very pretty.

After it is quilted I will be adding a couple of petals that hang over the edge of the lily blocks. I've been toying with adding a few beads, too.

Gorgeous quilt and I love the colors. Maybe some echo quilting around the flowers?

Love your quilt.

it's a beautiful quilt. i'm not good on deciding designs, so i'd probably just follow around the flowers. the diamonds call me to follow the edges for a zig zag. the plain spaces, though, call for a triangular feather or a taller flower in the point with the leaves low on the flat side.

Beautiful!!! I'd send it to Charismah and let her work her magic!

That is beautiful & very interesting !! :thumbup:

I just love it !! :-D

Woo! That is very graphic! Great job!

I've not a clue about the quilting though...

What a gorgeous quilt, love the flowers, wish I could help with suggestions, but I myself have a hard time when it comes to quilting it

Beautiful quilt!

Not sure about the quilting, but the quilt is gorgeous!

Ohhhhh my.....that is gorgeous!! Love how you fussy-cut those flowers. The colors are stunning. You did a great job. Sorry I don't have any idea on the quilting.

Stunning quilt!

I agree. Stick with something simple that pops out the colors and shapes. There are a lot of straight lines and not curves, so I would stay with that! Please show us what you decide! Gorgeous colors!

Love it ! ! ! !

stunning.........absolutely love it

Love your quilt. The colors are beautiful.

I love it!

It is gorgeous, just gorgeous.

Beautiful top .... !!!

Where did you ever find the lily/orchid fabric? ..... what did the overall piece of fabric look like? - enough diversity for OBW's? ...

Can't help on quilting suggestions - I'm still just muddlin' through on THAT myself :lol:

Gorgeous. No idea on the quilting, but however you do it, it will be beautiful. Love that fabric.

Sorry, I have no idea how to quilt that, but it's beautiful.. What line of fabric is the floral stargazer lily fabric? It's my DDIL's favorite flower. Would love to use it in a quilt for her.

Very pretty

This is fantastic. It is so unique.
