I love the colors. The pattern is great! Good luck on the quilting. All I know how to do is stitch in the ditch and cross-hatching, so probably the suggestions of using the painter's tape is what I woud have to do.

For ME, a new machine quilter, I can't quite get the meandering down (even when i'm doodling!) so I would avoid that. I love spirals and loops and "waves" and things like that. But to avoid crossing over? I'm helpless! And I can't manage that soft curve, either. Mine end up with sharp points!
