    What shall I quilt in this block?

    Good day all!
    I am finally ready - physically and mentally - to quilt this embroidered Sunbonnet Sue quilt - the one I lost for over a year. It is all embroidered on a preprinted panel and the blue lines will disappear with water or laundering. I have outlined the blocks but am unsure what to do IN the blocks. The batt is to be quilted between 8 & 10 inches. so I need something.
    I've downloaded and printed out (several copies) line drawing of a SB Sue and have outlined Sue as much as possible - done radiating lines out - FMQ a meandering butterfly flight - did a chain of daisies (the borders are embroidered yellow daisies.

    Those are so adorable - I do not have a quilting suggestion, do you have a picture of the entire quilt or are you doing a quilt-as-you-go?

    On my SBS sample, I stitched an echo close around the figures and mini stippled the background.

    EDIT: I don't know how the second picture posted but that is from before quilting, sorry.

    I love you SBS and the lazy daisies are just so awesome in this quilt.
    peace

    I'm kind of glad the second photo snuck in!
    How did you do that? I mean the color behind the embroidery.
    Paint?
    a preprinted panel?
    You know that feeling when you've finished all your quilting projects and your studio is perfectly clean???? Me neither.

    It's not how fast you sew, it's how well you sew fast! Wait, I think that's supposed to be MOW!

    I'm a little worried about quilting so close as to take away from the embroidery

    because sue is so bright and cheerful, i think the radiating lines will highlight that feeling

    Should I echo sue first then do radiating lines?

    I cross hatched my Sunbonnet Sue background but mine were made from fabric using EB book.
