    Beautiful quilt. No suggestions on quilting other than something with curves or circles.

    Gorgeous quilt top. I personally like straight line stitching on triangles not curvy. Perhaps alternating straigbt lines at each block so it sews in opposite directions. I just completed a table runner that way. Adding texture.

    Love your quilt!! Quilting waves would pick up on the blue/sea idea. Am anxious to see the finished job.

    How about something associated with the ocean? You could do a search for patterns of sea shells, ships, anchors, and things like that. I did a lap quilt a while back with dolphins all over the main body, and waves in the border.

    Here are some ideas from my pantograph ideas file. This one is called "Wind Water".

    I used it on this table runner.
