Then echo quilting about one half inch from each embroidered shape.
You could make the quiltng closer the the block edges and fill with cross hatching or a fairly tight meander if you wanted more dense quilting.
I agree that it deserves to be hand quilted.
Agree on the hand quilting - but I would echo around the shapes and fill the rest with cross hatching.
I had a redwork top like that, it was obviously hand drawn designs, but charming. I remember an owl with an umbrella. Years later, at the Vermont Quilt Festival, I saw another one and realized it was a commercial pattern and the one I had was copied from the commercial one, by someone who couldn't afford to buy the pattern.
