    Pieced the following quilt a couple of months ago, now am ready to quilt it. I don't do FMQ as of yet, someday. Should I hand quilt this or machine & in what design. Thank you for your suggestions.

    It's gorgeous!!!! I don't have any suggestion for quilting except maybe stitching in the ditch around the squares and large stars. Hopefully some one else will have some ideas :)

    Beautiful - I would try to enhance the star blocks. Pls don't do an all over meander.

    I love it. Love the fabrics you picked. I'd probably do an outline quilt of each of the stars, and in the areas surrounding do a stipple.

    Beautiful quilt!!! If you don't do freemotion yet, then I'd just do a straight stitch 1/4" in from the seams on the yellow. Also, consider doing stitch in the ditch around the printed fabric. It is so beautiful and so busy I wouldn't do too much, if anything at all, in the printed fabric. I personally don't think stippling would fit this quilt. You could do crosshatching (making diamonds) on the yellow sashing. :thumbup: Here's some ideas....
