I think a combination would look fab anyway!<br />I'm also not as fancy as I'd like with my free motion. But unlike you I can't (yet) hand quilt. So I would favour you doing that simply because I can't and I'd love to see what you do. Selfish hey!

Take some transluscent paper, lay over the top and sketch out some designs. You'll know in a minute if you like them. I agree that with all the points on the flowers, you may want to go easier on the quilting, but a large stipple may yet be a nice contrast to those flowery angles. Good luck!<br /><br />Elizabeth E.<br />http://occasionalpiece.wordpress.comLetterpresshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13983311236791267553noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8819822382900769742.post-64945577821540194282011-07-14T10:25:09.685+10:002011-07-14T10:25:09.685+10:00Your flowers blocks are beautiful.
