    Default One Block Wonder: what quilting pattern?

    I've got the blocks and rows completed, now to put it together and do the quilting. BUT. Am stumped as to what pattern to use to quilt it. Stitch in ditch? Meander? ???? With the hexagons all so busy and different, I don't want to distract any more than I have to with the quilting process, but not sure SID is the answer. Will that make the hexagons too defined? What would/did you do?

    How about shadow quilting?

    With all those seams, I'd do a large meander with thread that blends. The piecing is the star in this quilt, quilting takes a back seat, IMHO!

    Is this the same as "echo" quilting, just a bit away from the seams? Am thinking of doing this since all the seams are pressed open.

    Sorry, it is echo quilting. Must not have had enough coffee at the time. Don't know where I got shadow quilting from.
