    I also like the idea of bringing some curves into the angularity of it. There is a gorgeous red and black quilt at the Billings Farm Museum exhibit this year, all triangles, and it is quilted in spirals. Makes a wonderful combination. But you need to let your heart tell you what your quilt wants.

    I was thinking along the same lines.

    Baptist fan from the center each in a quadrant.

    I was wondering about using the Baptist fan radiating out from the center. I tried drawing in Paint, and I am terrible with a laptop touch pad. If it were me, I would probably use one of my pantos with a totally different theme than the triangles. Flowers, spirals, music notes, anything but something with a lot of straight lines, except I love the idea of the star that someone did earlier in this thread. That would probably be what I would do if I had the ability.

    I would do an all over design with soft curves, maybe flowers?

    I'm glad someone else gets stuck at deciding on quilting design! Your top is lovely.

    I like jnnmn's suggestion on #3. This is really a beautiful quilt. You did an amazing job and can't wait to see it completed.

    wow this is awesome quilt how long did it take to make it?
    I am just starting to become addicted to fabrics and quilting and I am about
    to embark on my first one. Hope it works out. But I am scared of triangles
    so probably years before I make anything this nice. :-)

    How about this? It would add roundness and an all over pattern. Kind of like rain drops on a pond.
