Usually people feel like you should soften the angles however, after looking at your quilt I think I would go with enhancing the angles and consider using varigated thread to make the lovers knots accented and the focal point. Whatever you choose I know it will be beautiful...happy quilting :thumbup:

That is absolutely gorgeous! If I ever pieced anything that beautiful, I think I'd let a long-armer do the quilting for me - I'm not confident enough in my quilting and don't have the equipment to do it justice!
