I think your quilt is quite lovely and I would not quilt over the stitches. I would hand quilt and I might cross hatch, do feathers in the corner or I might just do some straight lines down about an inch apart or I might radiate out from the center motif. Oh, I like that idea. Anyway, it's a nice quilt and it will be even better once it is quilted.

I am going to take the plunge. Exactly what plunge is still up in the air. I will get batting one day this week. I appreciate all the kind words and the quilt top is actually starting to grow on me a bit.

I don't think it is ugly. I really like it but I agree with others that I would not quilt over the design. I would only quilt the white open areas. I think it is kind of pretty and I love old things.

I agree with the other responders. I like it, and I would love to see it finished. You did a beautiful job with the embroidery, and I'm sure however you decide to finish it, it will be beautiful then, too! Good luck!
