I pulled out a Lone Star quilt top I pieced some time ago and want to machine quilt it. Would love some ideas for quilting, especially the set-in corner squares and triangles. Feathers are the usual but would like something new and funky in a continuous line design. Any suggestions?

Don't have a photo at this time. But it is a scrap quilt (a mystery quilt from quilt guild) that has 4 large corner squares and 4 triangles set in as is typical with the Lone Star/Bethelham star patterns. To me, these call for a design. I have two antique ones that have the feathered circles which are great. Just looking for something a little different. And I am not much of a designer - right brain doesn't always do it.

Wow. So many beautiful quilts. I just recently learned that the Lone Star pattern is a Native American pattern used for rememberance and honor in the culture. Always something new to know about quilts and their history.
