I see two opportunities for quilt design. I have seen "modern" quilts that have linear, close rows of quilting within each section. Adjoining sections would be different. That is attractive. The, on the other hand, I have seen quilts that each section had its own motif, like a row of leaves in some, rows of flowers in others, and even rows of straight feathers in others. It was attractive because of the contrast of shapes. It will be fun to see what you choose after all these suggestions.
