All ideas welcome.
Not very good at FMQ, but thought I'd give it another go, but at a loss as to where and what to do.
Thanks everyone.

Thanks, it's a panel my son bought for my birthday.Thought I should run it up this morning. Now I'm stuck on how to quilt it, although I've already decided I'll bind it in a coral/red, to bring out the red in the panel.

Seeing as there is a red feather shaped design in there, how about a feather design in the borders? Echo quilting around the flowers in the center? Just a couple thoughts.

I would echo quilt with clear thread for all the center object and the floral print on the edges. The gray and gold borders stitch in the ditch and then a very simple design on the final border since it will not show.

A swirly pattern in the white background to simulate the butterfly's flying pattern. The rest, no clue. Beautiful panel and beautiful quilt as a whole.

How about just a meandering. I think that stitch would not take a way from the beuatiful quilt.

Well....if I were to quilt it myself...I would maybe quilt Charisma Curls in the white area with white thread and the black area with black thread....it will make fabric designs stand out...the little swirls would work as well. A little trapunto may be nice on this as well....on some of those bigger flowers and the butterfly??
In the borders...there are several options, leaves, flowers, feathers, anything to compliment the center panel.

If you are quilting this on your DSM and you are not comfortable with my designs....A small stipple in the black and White around the elements are very effective or echo quilting....the borders you could quilt any design you are comfortable with....I would just make each border a different design to breakup it up and add texture. :thumbup:

I love your quilt, very very pretty. I think stipling all over would be great. Thanks for sharing.
