Quilting suggestions for helix quilt?
Here are pictures of the top and back of my helix quilt. I'm ready to baste and then quilt tomorrow. I will be using white thread on the white fabric, and variegated blue-green in the colored parts. Thinking SITD for the darks but not sure what to do with the white sections . Binding will be the purple checked fabric.
I need a simple suggestion as I'm not too confident in my FMQ skills (but have done it a few times).
I also am am trying extremely hard to finish the whole quilt --binding and washing and drying by Fruday afternoon!! I need grace!

The way I quilt triangles are just do a gentle curve to the inside from corner to corner. Here is a photo of a Lone Star quilt with the same technique.

I'm supposed to deliver this quilt today! Still binding, but wanted to show one of the blocks I quilted . Decided to use many of her favorite things and memories and such to quilt into the white spaces.more pics later.
