Black and white 'Think Outside the Box' quilt update
#1
Ok - I have 3 weeks to finish this thing in order to enter it in the Durham Fair in CT and I already lost a week due to business travel in Polnad and another week due to business travel in Atlanta. Yikes!
I am putting on a 3" black border and then I am going to machine quilt it in 2 sections (even with a 9" bed, I can't handle a 5 foot quilt :-(
Any advice on the quilting pattern? I am thinking of dividing the quilt into 4 sections and doing half circles in each section about 2 inches apart. The pattern is so busy that I don't want to take away from it but I am afraid that lines will be too much.

Awesome three dimensional look! I think I would echo the pattern of the design to enhance the dimensionality.
I know the rule of thumb about doing circles on a quilt that has lots of straight lines, but in this case somehow I don't think it would enhance it.
