Ok, this was one of my first quilts. It's been aging for awhile now. I started quilting it with the embroidery design, but I didn't really know how to use my embroidery machine at the time so the designs aren't centered in the squares, so any other quilting I do, needs to be non-symetrical. Or at least I think that would be best, but feel free to give your opinions if you come up with something. I didn't stitch this same design in the pieced blocks, I wanted to do something different, but don't know what. Please don't suggest SID, I'm HORRIBLE at that, although I did think about straight lines going the opposite direction of the pieces in the block, if that makes sense. Let me know what you come up with.

I have considered micro stippling around the outside of the embroidery design to fill in the black squares, but am not sure what to do.

oh, also, because of the way I did the corners, do I have to use bias binding? I cut it already straight of grain, but I think I have enough to cut more if I need to.

Thanks for any advice!!!
