I'm undecided what to do with the quilting on this baby quilt. I will probably stitch in the ditch around the sashing. I could use some ideas for the large blocks and 9-patch blocks. I don't want to do diagonal stitching in the 9patch. I am fairly comfortable with FMQ. What would you do?

EDIT: It's really straight, it's just hanging crooked. :)

Cute! Little stars to mimic the starfish or waves

What an adorable top! I have trouble with the quilting part, too. Usually I just meander.

I agree, waves!

Follow the curly Q's (for want of better explanation) in your large blocks.

Exactly what I thought. Follow the swirly design that is representing the water that is beige in color in the large blocks. When you get to a sea critter just follow the tan outline of that as well. It will look terrific and no marking needed!

It is a cute quilt. I usually just meander.

That was my first thought too, follow the swirly lines in the big blocks, and then do a starfish or turtle or fish outline in the nine patches. Maybe a different one in each nine patch?
very cute quilt!

What a fun quilt! I think it would look adorable if the quilting could include some little turtles.
