    This is always the tough part for me too. I have an app now that you can photo it and put a design on top. Or I use the standby of plastic to draw on it. Now I find which thread color also challenging as well.

    This is a gorgeous quilt... I can't wait to see what you decide.

    Great quilt. Squares or circles, it is going to be beautiful. If I have a choice, I pick circles but ultimately it will be your choice, so give the quilt a good hard look and just start sewing. A circle or a square will show up and you will know.

    I made one from the same pattern. I quilted it diagonally across each block. It looks great!

    What a beautiful job you've done! I'd opt for curved lines--a nice contrast to all those straight lines.

    goodness!! Iraxy, I do appreciate the confidence you have in my creativity level, but I am pretty sure it is misplaced!! lol!! I need a *plan*!!

    G'ma Kay, what are 'curls'?

    I have it pinned completely, now. I picked out thread to match the back, and three colors that would match the front. My quilting isn't 'great' so I always try to have my thread 'hide'!! =)

    Missed the sunday deadline, but I decided not to try. Don't want to be rushed or unhappy with a single stitch of this guy! (knocking ;0)

    so far, I think I can do the single line fan in each square, and I think I could manage having the four corner circles meet in the center.

    madamePurl, can you tell me more about that app? I am searching the appStore now! How lucky would I be if it were a free one?! )
