Beautiful quilt. No advice for the quilting. All I can think of is stitching in the ditch around the squares. That might drive you crazy before you could finish it though. Might make it too heavy with quilting too. Could you please tell me the name of the pattern of the quilt behind the lover's knot and the one in your avavtar? So beautiful. My love is hand applique.

This is so beautiful you could quilt it anyway you like and you couldn't damage it!! WOW! And the one behind it (and in your avatar) is equally as lovely. Please post some other things you've done! How long did it take you to make this one?
