Such a beautiful quilt. If you want to quilt it yourself, You could quilt in the ditch ( sew right in the seam with your walking foot in place) of every third or fourth strip. Then go around the center. You could then try some free Motion quilting in the border. Look up Leah Day for ideas for fmq. You need a darning foot for this and put your feed dogs down. Practice on a square and then make a pot holder out of it. I have used so many of Leah Day's designs for small projects and I find it so enjoyable.

Thanks gmc. I like that idea as I don't want it too busy.

Thanks for the tips Joanne For the roses, I used my Baby Lock Ellisimo, which will allow me to enlarge designs, and that's a fantastic idea. I also have PE Design 7, and just purchased EQ 7... Will see how those can help. Thank you for the warm welcome!
