    I think it needs something for visual effect.

    i would quilt something there.

    my first thought was candy canes you could place them to form hearts - i'd draw it out first to make sure the candy cane doesn't get lost when you place them into hearts.

    you could do mittens instead or alternate both ideas

    Nice quilting so far.

    I think it does need something even SID but another motif that alternates side to side would be nice

    You could stitch in the ditch. It is really pretty.

    I like mittens could add hat and scarf too

    Thanks. That will be an easy way to remember. :-)

    your batting is what determines the width. it should have a recommendation on the label. if you don't know what to quilt there, how about just a SID?

    These are all great ideas for filling in. I like the idea of the closed fist as a measure. Thanks, jaciqltznok!
