I'd love your opinion on how to quilt this!
#1
Hello! Thanks for looking.
I'm making this table runner for my grandmother for Christmas. You can see what I have so far! I'm hoping to finish the top tonight and quilt it this weekend.
My skill level is beginner. I have done 1 quilt (SID) and three rag quilts. I have practiced a little FMQ on little sandwiches and I'm not opposed to trying some on this...but I don't know what to do!
Any specific ideas for something simple and pretty for this runner?
I bought red and a natural colored thread for quilting in the different sections (not aiming for high visibility!!)
This is the completed runner. Quilting like this is out of the question!

Make yourself a big sample block for practicing free motion quilting on. Little blocks don't give you enough space to loosen up and create!
Then, GO FOR IT!!!
I agree that an overall meander will look beautiful.
