Without doing SID what ideas for a motif do you all have.

How much experience do you have or how elaborate are you willing to do? :D:D:D

The last one I did "QAYG". I divided the quilt into 4 quadrants (I did not use borders, but made the quilt 7 blocks x 7 blocks) - 1 was 4x4, 1 was 3x3, and 2 were 3x4. I FMQ (just plain old meandering) each quadrant, staying about an inch away from the seam line. I then carefully seamed together the top, trimmed the batting, and used a small sashing strip on the back. Lastly, I did a quick meander over the seam line and allowance.

Its so pretty! The colors remind me of springtime. I think I would do big daisy and swirls with hoops and loops.

Because it is straight lines, any quilting will curves will soften those lines. Pretty fabrics

Whatever you do will make your quilt even prettier!

With the colors, I would do a simple pencil type star in the big squares and meander in the rest... colors remind me of hot days and starry nights :)

I did a YBR and used a large stipple and it softened it even more without SID. Hope you post again when it is done.

Awesome

i have made over 20 quilts and I applique/hand stitch them myself. I don't think I want anything really elaborate for this YBR - I would think something kind of plain and simple would be the best bet. I have been all over the web looking for stencils or ideas and so far have not come up with anything.
