    Leah Day has two classes on Craftsy that each show 50 different FMQ patterns. She uses a quilt that is just different colored rectangular blocks, much like your quilt. Each block is FMQ'd with a different pattern. You might check that out.

    Another idea -- I made a quilt for my MIL that had some nice long rectangular blocks and had the LA-er put in dates that were special to her -- her birthday, my FIL's birthday, their 3 children's birthdays, their anniversary, their grandchildren's birthdays (she only had 3 grands). She loved it.

    That is absolutely gorgeous. I would prefer quilting in the ditch around the pictures and suggest channel quilting the rest.

    Wonderful quilt! A memory quilt is on my to do list. You have given me a new option.

    Lovely quilt. Would like to see it again once quilted. Good luck.

    Beautiful quilt. I think I'd just stitch in the ditch and let the photos be the star of the quilt. If you are going to let someone else quilt it they can add meandering on the other blocks.

    Looks as if you did it just right to me! Ask your long arm quilter and she may have some great suggestions to help you deceide. Nice work!

    I agree completely with the above post.
