Thanks for your input, all 5 of you.
There were two votes for simple concentricness, two for waves, one for cloud+wave+sun.
I couldn't draw a cloud I was happy with and they seemed messy against the piecing anyway. So the plan, after mulling over it all week, will be a sun with radiating rays, angled to match the seam lines. There will be waves, but only in the border. So I get to do a bit of intricate work on the face, but most of it is very simple so should not take too long to quilt.
I can even start on it tonight with my new hoop! Hopefully 14" will be more comfortable to work with than 18". I might even start tonight accompanied by my newly aquired Miss Fisher DVDs!
