great colors! I love that pattern. I have no idea on quilting other than stipling. Someone with more experience probably would have better guidance than me. Great quilt !

I did a simple SID on mine to make the "weave" stand out. Maybe some close work in the background squares would make the strips really pop.

That would have been my suggestion, too.

Absolutely! Perhaps a trailing vine in the 'ribbons' but I would stop-start under and over the weave to accentuate the effect. Lots of tails to bury though... then perhaps a stipple or pebbles in the black squares to flatten them and pop the ribbons even more? It's a beautiful top. :-D
