Default Winnie the Pooh dresden table topper

I played around with a new 30 degree ruler and made this out of five inch charms i had of Winnie the Pooh. the ruler is very skinny at the top and the seams were too many to lay down flat enough for me so i cut them out a bit and put a circle in the center.
Now, do i need to do a bit more stitching? I'm thinking i need more at the outer edge but am thinking of going inside each or every other dresden to help hold the batting in place during any washings. I will have to fill my bobbin again. hate doing that.

Cute... I'm sure they will love Winnie and friends. I like the blanket stitch on it. I think it would look good with blanket stitch around the outside edge, too.

Cute. It does appear that it would benefit from additional quilting. I like the idea of blanket stitching, although that might be awkward with the number of layers at the seams. I like your idea of quilting every other outer segment. If it were mine, I would use hearts. For boys, however, I would use simple wonky 5 point stars. An alternative might be a row of stitches, decorative or plain, about 1/2 way out the outer segments. Another choice might be on diagonals of those segments, Outside to inside on one, Inside to outside on the next, so that you get 6 inner and 6 outer points. I hope this all makes sense.

The added stitching was a nice touch. I love your Pooh fabric.
