    I have done one similar to this, but still haven't put it on the frame, lol! Love this book/pattern & plan to do more. You could just free motion it all over, or do each block a little different, but keeping it simple. Do you have frame & are machine quilting it, or hand quilting it? Whatever way you go with, I'm sure it will turn out lovely, just enjoy the process, & post a pic once it's done! Great job, very pretty!...

    This sounds like a great idea. Your quilt stopped me in my tracks, it is so beautiful. Thank you for sharing.

    stunning, vibrant colors. Looks like it took alot of thought and shopping to put it together.

    Yes, I also have to pay someone to do my quilting, but I do choose what the quilting design is!

    Your quilt is wonderful. With the pattern being angular, I think that the quilting should loose and flowing, maybe some simple wide meandering lines and a circle or two.
