I am an amateur FMQ w my Janome regular machine. I like to be creative, non-traditional. I like trying a different pattern for quilting with each new quilt. I am drawing a blank on how to quilt this quilt I've pieced. I call it "City scape". I know there's a great way to quilt this quilt. I have a black backing and dark gray (or black) thread. Maybe if anyone has some ideas that will be enough to get started and I can get back on track. Thanks for your help!

I would do something loopy or swirly in the yellow and maybe straight lines in your skyline. A quick and easy modern background option is what I call overlapping boxes. like a meander but with straight lines and you can cross over yourself as much as you want! and, no, you don't need a ruler, that would just be irritating.

I've used the boxes pattern to quilt a modern quilt. Once you get the hang of it, it's easy and looks really nice.

For future reference, I have Leah Day's 365 free motion quilting designs book. Its very helpful to get inspiration.

city scape, why not city sky lines of different cities.
some cities a person can recognize with just the outline. just an idea

A burst like rays of the sun in the yellow and maybe city words for the rest. Cafe, boutique, city block, department store.

Why not tiny spider webs. They are not too hard to create.
