I've heard of a lot of people using a serpentine stitch in their quilting. It would probably add movement and interest.

Go for it! I'm sure it will look great and be very interesting. Just be very careful to match the reds; they can be so different in color!

I love the serpentine stitch. I use it a lot if I'm doing charity quilts and just stitch over the seams. It works really well because you don't have to stay right on the seam line. No one will know if you strayed a bit. Snd I think most machines will have a serpentine stitch if you fuss with the length, etc. Just once you get it right, record the settings!!
