Thank you, AnneMarie....and all others. I appreciate all suggestions.
I hand pieced the quilt(as is my preferred method) & will probably keep the quilting simple--just needed a suggestion as to what, when & where. :) Riley

I'm back and have an opinion! Ha! You can ignore it too! I would take a 'minimalist' approach since the piecing is so intricate and beautiful. I think I would stitch in the ditch around each block and then quilt a flower or some do-dad in the center of each block. Then put something a little more fancy in the border. There, an opinion. :lol:

All RIGHT, Ladies! I really like your opinions!
The rust is beginning to slip off the cogs upstairs in the brain department! S*L*O*W*L*Y the cogs are trying to turn.... :)
Thank you! Riley

Since you don't have any "open" areas, I would just outline quilt around each piece of colored fabric, including the applique. If it needs more quilting in that area, I would do vertical channel quilting, about 2" apart, there, not quilting over the applique pieces (allowing them to stand out in relief).
It's a beautiful quilt.

I'm sorry if what I said , sounded as tho it was towards you. It was'nt At all. It was'nt this post. It's just when some ask for opinons, and you offer one, there seems to be a tendency to be ignored. Or no reply at all, So I have learned my lesson, and graciously bough out. But I have to restate, Your quilt is beautiful, and what ever you choose. I'm sure will only enhance it. Again I humbley apoligize for, not being clearer on the subject.
