    Default Hunter's Star quilting suggestions please

    Hunter's Star top is done! Used the Rapid Fire ruler by Deb Tucker & like how it turned out. It does take a little time but I could not have done the bias edges without it. I would like to quilt it myself but need something simple. I usually do a fairly large meander but wondered about in the ditch & outlining the stars. I have not done feathers, wreaths etc. & don't want to 'practice' on this one. I have a gold/bronze Isacord that I was thinking of using but could just use mono-poly. Would like to use silk batting to make it lighter weight, there may be issues with wool sensitivity. Any suggestions are appreciated.

    Fantastic quilt. I would shadow the stars to make them pop and in the ditch for triangles or small zigzag.

    I would keep in simple and echo quilt where pieced just once with 1/4" width like what a hand quilting would do.

    I agree with Dottiemo. Love your quilt and I recently bought that ruler. I can't wait to get started after seeing yours! What a beautiful job you have done!

    You could stitch in ditch around each petal of the star, then do a smaller meander in the triangle squares around them. That would make the stars pop.
