I really like this idea that posted a little while ago to make a prayer quilt. It has a cross in the middle. My question is for those of you who machine or longarm quilt...How would you quilt this pattern?
Thanks for any ideas you have!

Depends on your fabric. Either stipple/meander or diagonal across the squares.

I think I would have straight lines coming out of the cross like a starburst and then crosshatch from the border out.

I really like this idea and think it would come out beautifully.
The other idea I had was to echo the cross up to the first color change and the do cross hatch in the rest.
