All good suggestions, so far. Here's another idea. SID around stars, treat the large white areas as 4 squares...quilt a 1/2 cross-hatch in each square (alternating directions). The finished look will be concentric squares "on point" within that space. You could embellish further by quilting a design of your choice within the alternate spaces between the lines. For the smaller white squares which exits at the junction of two stars, perhaps a greek key? I can't imagine how difficult free-hand work would be on a domestic machine...straight lines seem to be an easier option with that equipment. Good luck!

Is this wedding gift going to be used as a signature quilt? If I were you, I'd quilt this on my machine by leaving an area inside each box, so a person can sign their name in one area. Just a thought. It is a very lovely top....will be looking forward to seeing the finished project.

I know I've seen this pattern before but I can't seem to remember the name of it, so I'm interested to know its name, too. This scrappy is fabulous & however you decide to quilt it, I know the happy couple will love & treasure for years to come! Great job!!!

Of course, that only gives you a gazillion blocks to go thru to find it!!

Love the quilt and colors. Could you let us know the name of the pattern and if in a magazine or book the name also. Thanks. Wish it was for me but after 50 years (feb 2nd) I don't think I would get married again.
