Those are lovely poppies and a beautiful quilt top. I think quilting on the longarm is doable. I would pin up the poppies and quilt behind them to make them pop. The greens are a lovely flower bed for your poppies.

wow, really nice. If you or anyone else does one of these in the future, attach the poppies after the quilting has been completed to avoid having to hand quilt

If someone else wanted to do this quilt and have it machine quilted, couldn't the poppies be added AFTER the quilting?
