What quilting pattern to use?

I posted this quilt top a few days ago asking about cutting crooked printed fabric and got great replies. Now my problem is how to quilt this--all over, outline, or ??. It is a crib size and I was wondering if I outlined the minions and some other stitching pattern around the edges, would that be enough stitching to hold the batting. I was thinking that by outlining the minions they would show on the back as well. Suggestions please! Thank you.

Are you quilting it on a DSM or longarm? I think the Minions might need a little more than just outlines...it could end up a favorite and be a "dragger". If using a DSM I would simply follow the lines on the background. Maybe some meander on the body in the jeans and face parts with matching thread colors.

It does look as though you'll have to do something in addition to outlining the features on the faces, as they're so large. I agree with crosshatching the background, so maybe crosshatch the faces (not through the eyes), too, but with matching thread. That might be the least conspicuous.
