I made a similar pattern in the green family but in the plain center of the block I quilted a shamrock or a cladegh design using a stencil. I used the warm and natural cotton batting and that says you can quilt up to 10" apart. I did some SID quilting also. Pleased with the results and it was fun to do the open areas with different shapes.

BEAUTIFUL quilt, Delores! I've been wanting to do this exact same quilt for a long time. My fear is that my corners wouldn't match. You did a great job. I'm anxious to see how you decide to quilt it.
