I'm attaching a photo of a picture I made at a workshop about 7 years ago, when I'd just begun quilting. I didn't get it finished in the day and it got put to one side, especially as the tuition wasn't very good and contradictory instructions had messed it up. Anyway, I've hauled it out again as part of an onslaught on my ufos and have finished sewing it. The quality isn't great, but I'd like to complete it. How should I quilt it? I'm stumped as to how best to do it. Any advice would be welcome.

minimal quilting with invisible thread - maybe just beside the
lines of black.

Put a black frame around it and quilt along the bias lines. I think it's cute. Love them sheeps.

I think it's rather charming, especially the sheep you added.

I love it! The sheep are so great. I like any fabrics that have sheep on them, don't even know why, just like the primitive look. Your hanging is awesome.

What about stitching lines in the "fields" that make them look like rows and then adding a border. This is really cute.
