it depends on the batting used, if the batting only needs to be quilted every 10"-12" it will be fine as it is, if the batting required closer quilting then it will need more. if the quilter furnished the batting she probably knew how much it required. just because it is for a child it does not have to be heavily quilted, lots of long-arm quilters only do 'heavy' quilting on show/heirloom quilts, regular utility quilts do not require alot of heavy quilting to keep them together as long as the distance recommended on the batting is followed.
