Now I need to figure out what I am going to do quilting wise. There are a lot of seams so I feel it needs some machine quilting even though my first reaction was to hand quilt it echoing the crosses. Ideas anyone?

Rainbow crosses {Instagram mini quilt swap}
I've been working away on the little blocks for this mini quilt for the last few weeks. I had the idea for different scaled crosses a while back and I just started making them without planning out the layout too much. Originally I planned the 3" and 6" blocks, and then after making a few I realised I needed a bigger one too for the impact. I had fun piecing these, and they were a little bit addictive to make, even if they did involve a lot of teeny tiny piecing.
Now I need to figure out what I am going to do quilting wise. There are a lot of seams so I feel it needs some machine quilting even though my first reaction was to hand quilt it echoing the crosses. Ideas anyone?

Ohh! This is very pretty!!!
Love the different sizes and the colors with the LV background
It is SO pretty! Sorry, no suggestions on quilting it though!
What a beautiful quilt top! I love the colours. Difficult decision on the quilting.... maybe an allover pattern with a circular shape to contrast with the squares?
Fabulous! I love it!
Beautiful. The work was worth it.
Quiltingwise I have no idea. Straight lines?
Beautiful!! When I saw this on if I was hoping you would hand quilt it!
*IG not if!!!
Love a bit of tiny piecing. How about matchstick quilting?
I would probably do flowers with the center of the flowers being the square in the middle.
oops. I forgot to say that I think this is pretty stinkin cute!
I really love how the bright colours pop against the low volume background. You have a lucky partner for sure.
Gorgeous! Machine quilting will give it more structure and stability for hanging up! Jxo
I'd love this on my wall! How about interlocking circles?
I love it! For quilting I'm thinking stitch in the ditch along the seam lines and then highlight a few of the crosses with hand quilting.
It's gorgeous!
Fabulous!
Such a beautiful mini Sarah. I know what you mean about machine quilting but a little bit of hand quilting would look lovely too!
I have a horrible feeling that you're not in Ashley's team. Oh well, a girl can dream, can't she?
It is a stunner, I LOVE it!
This is so lovely!
