Swoopy Curves

I've been mulling over the quilting at the top of the purple quilt.  At first I thought swirls....but there was a good chance I would mess it up....I should have done it first.  But then I decided I wanted it simpler.

I almost left it with no quilting because the stitching on the strips is so subtle....but I am regretting no quilting on the dots on another one I did earlier.  Quilting is a good thing...it adds texture.  I finally landed on swoopy curves with my walking foot.  I used a sliver of soap to lightly mark my lines....winging it doesn't always work.

Now I can sew on the squares and I'm pretty sure there'll be buttons. I think the stitching will define the squares and add even more texture. 

            I may let this one sit because I know it's heading in a positive direction and get started on the next one.  I have a couple of ideas rolling around in my head. 

I like the offset buttons....my inclination is to center....but "off" is good sometimes.
