I too hope you have some skills at FMQ. This is a stunning quilt. I would stitch in the ditch with all the flying geese. In the black square background. I would draw lines to quilt (only in the black) like rays of sunrise radiating out from from the corner of each block.
In the red & purple part of the edges of a lone star, SITD than you can do an arch on each side of each diamond. The curve is only no more than 1/2 inch.
The outside edge of the lone star of the black and blue pointed edges I would just SITD.
What to do with the larger blue background and soft multicolor, I am not sure. I would certainly see as many other quilted tops from Judy's pattern by Google this pattern and then clicking on the photo gallery Google has on any search. Good Luck !!

I applaud anyone who can FMQ on a regular machine. All I have ever done is little wall hangings. Mostly I hand quilt anything that is bigger than 2 feet. Whatever you pick, I do hope you will show us some closeups when you are finished.

Thanks everyone for the complements! I was not looking for them at all. This quilt top was completed several months ago, and I have been stewing about how to quilt it. A friend suggested I post it on this board, and I am overwhelmed with all your responses. You have provided new ideas for me to consider, which has energized me to get serious about completing it. Thanks to you all!
