Last December the majority of my blog readers voted to have this become a table topper, so now that decision is made.
I have been doodling some possible quilting designs on a print out of a photograph of the quilt top.
*Three background designs in beige thread: 1) stippling, 2) loops, and 3) swirls
* Two tree designs in green thread: 1) outside curves and inside grid, and 2) wavy lines
* Three star designs in red thread: A) circular, B) curved lines, C) straight grid.
I sure hope I don't get stuck on these decisions! I will give myself until December 10th to decide and then I'm picking the ideas out of a hat! LOL

The loops look like Christmas tree lights, especially if you make the bottom of the loop wider and the top with a curved point. The ones directly to the left of the bottom tree are especially nice. I like either the curvy lines or the circle for the stars.
With all the straight piecing, the curves in the quilting will give it movement and softness.
JMHO, and I'm a total novice at designing quilting patterns!
I love the idea of a double loop that mimics Christmas lights. What a fun idea. Whatever you choose, it will be even more beautiful as a finished quilt than as another UFO :)
Good luck! Can't wait to find out what you pick! The designs all look so fun!!!
I love that idea of taking a pictures of your quilt and then practicing your quilting with a pen. I'm sure it'll look fantastic whichever way you decide to go.
It looks so pretty! Go you, I'm sure you can do it! xx
What a beautiful quilt to focus on for the month. The swirls and twirls are going to look fabulous. Enjoy
Such a beautiful little quilt Kathy. It will be a sweet finish knowing you are clearing up a UFO! I need this pattern I think. Wherever did you get it?
I'm rooting for you! December really is the best time to get in the mood for Christmas quilting.:)
Love this!!!
