I agree that you should quilt the sashings in the ditch and go around all the girls. My grandmother said a quilt is quilted. If it's tied, it's a comforter. She made many a handstitched quilt in her 98 years.

I would never dream of quilting over Sue! Just outline her...that is a lot of work you put into her it should show!
That being said you could tie the quilt but again...many washings....you may want to quilt it and you could even do a stipple on your machine that will keep it together really well.

Also, Ellary has a 5 yr old brother. I need to make a quilt for him as well. Any ideas on patterns? Thanks. It's always great to have this site to give me expert opinions.
