I finally chose my final layout for my New York Beauties, then added the folded flying geese on two corners to finish it off. This quilt has been a long time in the making since I put away the blocks for over a year then finally took them out and added a bunch more recently. I am sooo happy to have this top complete you have no idea!

I'm going to have the longarmer quilt this one, but would love some advice as to giving her some direction. What do you all think would be the best way to quilt it??? I'm stumped as I'm not too sure I want the beauties themselves to be quilted or not, please help with some ideas. Thank you so much for looking.

That is a color and quilt that just screams "I am in a good mood now because I got this beautiful quilt". Awesome.

If you trust your long arm person, let her use her own pattern for quilting.

Its wonderful!! Congratulations! I agree with your thought about just quilting the background and maybe SID around the curves. Show us when you've finished! :thumbup:
