I am fairly new at ruler work and need help deciding on a design for this quilt. I purposely made this quilt with a lot of space to allow room for practice. I have several rulers to use and can also borrow from a friend. I welcome all suggestions!

It depends on whether there are specific areas you want to pop.
Amy Johnson has a bunch of interesting ruler work designs on her youtube channel--including an awesome sampler that may give you some more inspiration.

Lovely top! I have Angela Walters Shape by Shape book and I look through it for inspiration. Her site is quiltingismytherapy.com You could also go to greenfairyquiltsblog.com and look at some of her work. Next decision is what colour thread? I am leaning towards red/white/blue variegated?

I love Green Fairy Quilts -- Judy Madson....she does great combos of ruler work and fillers.
To me these look like fire works so I would consider doing ruler work from the middle of each outward.
Personally I would add some curves/fillers to lighten some of the straight piecing/quilting though!

nice quilt! I typically like to do more dense quilting in the white spaces and then allow the colors to pop--literally!

Thanks much! I went on a shop hop and collected the fabric at each shop. Once I got home I just made up the pattern which is a first for me! I normally have a very type A plan before I start a quilt!
