    Your quilt is just beautiful! I don't hand quilt, but I can't imagine piecing this by hand or quilting this by hand. It has to be soooo much work!!! I can't offer any advice there, sorry. Beautiful work though!!

    I can't suggest the quilting, however your quilt is beautiful. Very very nice. You should be proud.

    This my thought also. It is perfectly beautiful.

    I agree that it shouts 'hand quilt' but then again, I'm a hand quilter. BUT you've spent so much time hand piecing, it almost demands to be hand quilted as well. Slow and steady wins the race. As as someone else mentioned, once you get in the groove with hand quilting, it starts to go pretty quickly. Good luck. You've already done an amazing job.

    beautiful set. I machine quilted mine on my DHM, I used a serpentine stitch, came out great. I gave it to my Kitty, Zoey, it's 55 x 65.
    Please show us when you're done.

    I am not a hand quilter so my thought is to machine quilt some feathers in the paths and a pretty design in each flower. It is a beautifulquilt and no matter what you choose will enhance all the work you put in it.

    Here is mine ...I have posted pics of this before...Longarm quilted...I thought about hand quilting...but I knew it would never get done...
    flowers have a design...quilted diagonally...looks cool from back...and the path I felt needed pebbles...I love it and just did a second one like this for my girlfriend...
