Actually, I did. You can't see it in the picture but I outlined all the faces and down the fence and around the flowers. Did it all with invisible thread (boy was that bugger!) on top and light blue in the bobbin to match the background. I probably didn't do enough quilting though-it's a good 6-8 inches in some areas and should have been tighter. I'm hoping my grandson will love this literally to pieces since I didn't put it together well enough to be an heirloom. Thanks for all the great tips.
