I have finished my dragon top . I have little experience of quilting except stitch-in-the-ditch.
I know lots of you do beautiful quilting. What do you suggest I do with this quilt top?
I have a little Gracie frame and am going for some lessons as I have had it ages and not really used it.
What would you suggest I do either with the frame or without?

What a happy little quilt! Great job!

Ditto..... Probably small stipple around the dragons and wider on the other areas. It does not need a lot of fancy quilting, it's so cute on it's own.

I would outline the dragons, then just a simple background fill around them (stipple, echo...maybe flames?). The borders are the only available space for any decorative quilting, IMHO...but this quilt doesn't really need any additional "punch"...those blocks are outstanding! Oh, I would definitely SID around every block, and between the borders, too.
