Thanks everyone. I tried adding a sprinkling of fmq daisies in some of the gaps but they looked very "out of place"...didn't make any sense at all. I'm a bit reluctant to do any echo-ing as I am hopeless at it unless I can use a walking foot...free hand I'm woeful. Or maybe I'll just add some more curls in the spaces.

I agree with the above comments. There's nothing wrong with it. I bet it has a softer feel with the quilting as is. I think we've become used to heavier quilting since longarm quilting has become popular. Add more stitching or leave as is, whatever you prefer.

I like it. It looks cuddly to me. My quilts that are densely quilted tend to be stiff. The ones that I love to use are not heavily quilted.

I'm sorry you aren't happy with it, after all that work, I know it's frustrating.

I wonder if maybe stitch-in-the-ditch would be the way to go? It will just follow the existing pattern of the fabrics, rather than adding a new FMQ pattern to the quilt.

Maybe the batting shrunk more than the top?

I'm agree standard batting shrinkage you are just used to the look of denser quilting. For me it looks fine

I like the slightly more cuddly factor too. It is beautiful. Love the softness of the colors you used.
