I looked at the McCall's link and the stencil link. Both are great! Thanks for sharing.

This is my great grandmother's Lady of the Lake. She used two light triangles in the middle instead of one light/one dark. Her quilting was sort of a modified Baptist fan in the border and just straight lines in the center.

Is there supposed to be a photo?
I'd really like to see your GGM quilt, so please repost!

Thank you for the link. It is a pretty patten.

I think of corner feathers myself with the layout posted. A triangular celtic design would work well, too, and lend itself to a number of other celtic-complementary border quilting as well.

BUT, my personal choice would be a feather wreath (round OR square) quilted in the center of the block (not the block's HST borders) in a variegated thread that pulls most of the colors together. If the finished quilt's blocks will have the proportions of the sample posted above, then the feather wreath motif would "chop up" the visuals a little less and keep the look of the quilt soft(er).

Thanks everyone for your ideas, this is a scrappy similiar to the picture, but not on point. Still unsure of the quilting but will deal with it after the holidays. However more suggestions are welcome.

If you could put up a picture of your specific block and layout, I'll bet more people could help.

I'm leaning toward square-shaped feather wreaths - but I *always* lean toward feather wreaths! And that's one heck of a lot of quilting!

A simple channel quilting or cross-hatching would look nice with this pattern - maybe with special motifs put into some of the blocks first and then a fancy feather and scroll design in the border.
