How would you quilt this?
Hey all you lovely people! Just a quickie, I have started making the quilt topper for an i-spy quilt (my first ever commission, eeeee!). I havent got a clue how to quilt it though! Would you guys go for stitch in the ditch because there is already so much going on, or would you do FMQ with simple patterns?
eta: this is only 3 sevenths of it so far! not finished by a long shot

Ah should have mentioned that I dont own a LA I keep saying I should invest but i never do. I think simple would work well because its very 'busy'. Would it be acheiveable on a normal sewing machine?

What a great idea! If sailboats, puppies, etc. sound too difficult you could just do geometric shapes, like kites, squares, triangles, etc. Or make exactly two of each shape and the game is to find them both?

Personally, I would not have the patience to quilt a design in each block, but that's just me. Otherwise, doing the diagonal lines through the blocks would work well, I think. Really cute quilt you have going there. Please show us the finished product

Thank you everyone! managed to get another row done, so only 3 to go I dont think I would be skilled enough at this juncture to do fancy patterns FMQ, as this will be the first. That means that I have an excuse to proctice too
