    Please leave it as is...It is too pretty with the different stitching..I don't have a long arm, just do free motion on a frame with my regular machine...I love it...

    Amazing.

    If you want to add stitches I like the ribbon Idea. Hope you post another picture with what you decided to do.

    I love it.

    I think it is very nice the way it is, but it is your quilt and if you want to add to it or change it a bit I am sure it will still be terrific.

    Thanks for your response. I will post another picture of this quilt very soon. The binding is on and now I'm hand stitching the back.
    After posting this on the board, I feel more confident about leaving it as is.

    I have taken out machine quilted stitches and I know it's not that hard and it doesn't take that long. I think I would like the meandering to be small on the white border so it makes the green border pop like the other inner areas of the quilt. I do feel the red border should be in the larger meader so it is not noticed. If it we smaller like the green border I would suggest not quilting it at all. You did a great job.

    You could use the large meander as a spine and put some leaves along it. Ribbons and leaves.

    It is stunning. I think the double ribbon effect would add just that little bit extra that you're looking for.

    I hope you will post a new photo of the ribbon border when you are done. I love to see these quilting ideas... it really helps me plan my own quilting better.
