I would welcome any suggestions on how to quilt this. I've been looking at it for a long time now, but can't figure out what to do with it.
Thanks in advance!

I was thinking along these lines also. Something "blooming." It would be a small shape in the center, and get bigger or have more branches as you make your way toward the edge. Not really feathers, but maybe more like individual petals. Not sure if I'm explaining it well, but in can see it in my head. Hearts would also work, or possibly rays, like sunshine.
By the way, it is a beautiful quilt. I can't wait to see it finished.

I would suggest do echo lines especially in the border. It will accent the lines that are made from the HST. Great color combination !!

These are lots of really good ideas. I'm surprised so many of you are suggesting straight line designs. I've heard that if the quilt is very geometric, like this one, curved lines will be better, and vice versa. What do you think?

Since there are so many straight lines in there already I personally would FMQ an all over design that had some curves. Depending on the fabrics, maybe some type of flower, or all over meander. I guess these days I am into all over designs and have been better at FMQ'ing them
