Autism Isn't Black and White


I finished this quilt top last night. It's made with puzzle fabric and letter fabric, two of my autistic son's favorite things. This is intended as a wallhanging for his room although my husband thinks I should make another for an Autism research fundraiser. I love the puzzle fabric, I'll probably have to buy more regardless of its future. I plan to bind this quilt in the red from the center block.

The problem is I don't know how to quilt it, pattern or which color thread. Given the busy-ness of the fabric, I'm not sure I want elaborate quilting, but I cannot think of what to do.

Any ideas?

Fantastic quilt. Thanks for sharing. I would just quilt diagonal lines. The piecing is so wonderful that I would quilt it in a way that won't detract.

That is so cool. I am always appreciative of someone with hand-work abilities!
I don't have any suggestions but you'll figure it out, I'm sure.
And I second your husband's idea of another quilt.
