    Beautiful quilt. What if you echo stitched around the stars, 1/4' on either side of the seams and then did some small meadering in the other spots as a filler. Please show pictures when finished.

    Such a pretty quilt. Whenever I see one with a lot of lines like that I think of swirls.

    An allover floral design would be great! A variegated pastel thread would be nice, or yellow or pink. I like your color combinations!

    I agree! It would be beautiful and would not take away from the piecing/design.

    I like this, and think a variegated thread and maybe some feathers in the border would be nice

    Don't worry about the light pink not showing up in a picture. I've had that happen to me also. As long as you can see it in person.

    I am not a fancy quilter so I would just go around the stars. If you like a lot of quilting, you can do the edges of the blocks as well.

    I am also not a fancy quilter. I would go around the stars first and then see if you like how that looks and if you want to do more. Perhaps a fancy stitch just gong down the border or something. Start with the stars and see what you like after that.

    I agree with either contrasting or variegated thread.
