    Wow, you got it finished fast!!!!!! I remember when it was in progress!!! What a beauty!
    How about cross-hatch?? I think any traditional quilting pattern would look great with it.
    You did a fab job on it!!!!!!! :D:D

    Because it is an old style pattern, I would quilt a circular feather. I would consider 6 shapes of your pattern, 3 on top and 3 below, as a block to quilt this design in. I have found when you have sharp lines in your piecing, soft curves show off your hand quilting best. Your quilt is wonderful.

    You probably already have your answer, but I'm thinking various sizes of circles all over.

    I would do a simple outline stitch in each tumbler. I made a similar quilt for my grandson using funky monkey material. He drags it around all the time, glad I machine quilted it!!

    I have decided on Baptist Fan! I'm getting ready to mark it and sandwich it for the frame. Actually I may not mark it and check out the tutorial mentioned earlier about eye balling it.

    found picture of quilt stencil that I thought would look great on your quilt if you treated 6 shapes, 3 on top and 3 on bottom as a block.

    It's beautiful. I like looking at it. No suggestions for the quilting, though. All the ones offered sound like good possibilities.
