Help needed for quilting design for star quilt
#12
The quilt is a Meadow Mist Design - Midnight Mystery. https://meadowmistdesigns.blogspot.c...ery-quilt.html
Cheryl did such a great job on this mystery. It was so fun. We had no clue what the finished quilt would look like. We were wondering and guessing the whole time until the final clue. I made the quilt and love it. I'm going to give this to my youngest daughter on her wedding day, August 19. 2019.
I do feel comfortable doing any type of quilting (feathers etc) on my domestic - because I'm too dumb to know I shouldn't. Hahaha Also I heard Cindy Seitz-Krug say "you only have to worry about the 6 to 9 inches of quilt under your needle". She does amazing quilting on a domestic machine. https://www.quintessentialquilting.com/about-cindy.html

Your quilt is a beauty!
For quilting, you could "test drive" different designs by drawing them onto a sheet protector made for binders or a mylar sheet or something like that that you can see through.... just to see what you like best. You could even try out a combination of 2 or more designs you like. Whatever you decide, it will look amazing!

I've had the good fortune to take several machine quilting design classes with Cindy Needham. SHe has some craftsy classes too. She suggested that if the piecing is geometric we use curvy, circular quilting designs on the quilt to add more interest. The feathers would fit in beautifully.

I love your quilt, colors and scale really work well with this pattern. I'm thinking either pebbles to make those stars pop or feathers. Feathers will create a softer quilt than the pebbles or any meander will. I personally love feathers, but due to the smaller width, I would do a one sided feather on the white. Look up Angela Walters.
