    I would also echo quilt it, but i'm not good at that either. I'm sure whatever you think of will look nice.

    What a gorgeous quilt! I would not do all over quilting. As the others have said, stipple in the white and SID on the dresses. You did a beautiful job.

    I would go with custom. An all over will but stitches in the applique area. Custom quilting will keep the focus of the pattern and not interfere.

    Precious quilt, I would do custom (as suggested - stippling or shadow around the girls). Show us when you are done.
