    I made this quilt, all hand pieced and will be hand quilting as well. I just can't decide what would be the best quilting pattern to use. Should I just quilt inside each strip? Or how about using the circle pattern starting in the middle of each diamond and working out? Any suggestions would be appreciated.

    I think circles sound great.

    your quilt is very pretty. I'd "soften the angles" and do something with a lot of curve to it.

    I agree. When you have all of those straight lines your eye "wants" to see some curves.

    This is a beautiful quilt! I think you are on the right track with the circles.

    Thanks!! I've just started quilting after years of not enough time and just couldn't decide the best way.

    I like using circles when quilting squares. As Theresa said, it "softens" the angles.
