JoJo, I have no idea how heavily you intend to quilt this, but I'm thinking that the green fabric's white dots makes it so busy that whatever you quilt there won't show a whole lot, so I would just do cross-hatching. It could be big like I've sketched, or double it if you are doing heavier quilting on the rest of the quilt.

I'm marking my Piecing through the Decades quilt and I'm stuck on the narrow borders. I'm hand quilting these areas and want something different. I've gone through my limited templates and hate everything. The inside blocks that have applique are marked with radiating spirals which look cool. These borders are surrounding the inside blocks (see green areas).

Also, I have a pretty big area in between the stars.

Any ideas of what I could do? Aren't I terrible. I'm always at a loss when it comes time to decide what to do with the quilting.
