Specifically, would you do something separate in the sashing and for the blocks, or just choose an all-over design? I will be quilting on a Handi-Quilter sit-down Sweet 16, but due to hand difficulties I can't use a ruler, so no straight lines. Thanks!

I think an all over design would be good. the tilted/ wonky blocks make me think of tumbling blocks.

What a fun quilt! I would be inclined to do a geometric design to reflect the background pattern or a large meander to balance the squares.

Something like this that is easy enough to do freehand

Thank you, ladies! It really helps to get an outside perspective when it comes to quilting design.

I think all over would be just fine. great quilt!

I would never attempt this myself (not talented enough). But I could see a different pattern for each square or the same pattern on every square, then treat the remainder of the quilt as wide sashing and choose an appropriate pattern.

Cute quilt! Honestly, if it was my quilt, I would put simple flowers, butterflies, hearts, etc in each block. But I don't know who the recipient is either.

I'd quilt it with an overall design, like stipling, swirls or paisleys.

Ditto what SBG said. Cute quilt!

This is what I would do too. The plain squares are the perfect canvas for one repeating motif or different ones. Great way to practice FMQ. It comes down more to how fast do you want to finish this quilt. An all over pattern may be done more quickly than individual blocks (depending on what you choose for the allover pattern of course).
