My first thought was stipple, but this would also work with all over interlocking squares of different sizes. I saw it on a blog, and it was very striking.

You could do a quarter inch on all the blocks. Have fun. Looks great.

Thanks for the suggestions. The backing is fairly muted, using a sheet with a sunset and ocean scape. I plan on giving it to my SIL, who is a Hawaiian native and granola bar. She was ready to take it months ago, in fact if I gave it to her without quilting, batting or backing, she''d be just fine with that.

Would a Hawaiian type design, the size of the block, that is quilted over each block work?

Meandering will be fine! Great reuse of fabric!

I'm going to be different too :) I'm also thinking about the back since the back is plain.

The center squares has a design .. outline it with stipple meander. In the row of squares immediately surrounding the center put a vine or something. The outer squares you can SID.
