    Once again, I'm asking for your help on how to quilt this. I've already done a stitch-in-a-ditch around each block but what else should I do?

    I've gotten such wonderful advise from y'all that I figured I'd go back to where all the creative juices flow.

    Thanks in advance!!

    That is really cute. If you want to do more then sticth in the ditch,maybe go around some of the objects to make them puff out alittle.

    Oh, that is a very cute quilt!! You did good! I'm not sure what to do..except maybe I would stitch around some of the applique to make it pop and in some of the bigger squares, I might echo some...but only if the quilt is balanced with the larger squares so that it will hang straight with the quilting done. Very cute...love the pattern and love the job you did with it!

    I tried the snowflake idea with white metallic thread. It just pulled the blocks funny and the thread kept breaking :cry:
