I agree with all the above. There is nothing worse than hitting a button when quilting. You may want to pin the ribbon from the back so it can be removed from the quilt when and if it ever needs washing. Just an after thought. Good Luck !!

For a hand quilted quilt, I've added beads and embroidery to the top + batting, and then added the backing, and quilted. It did make getting it in the hoop for quilting a bit more challenging, but I wouldn't have wanted that stitching showing on the back. I agree that you wouldn't want buttons, etc. in the way when machine quilting.
