Thanks everyone for allthe nice comments. I think I will just do a meandering stitch over the whole thing. I am going to the Bernina store after work to check out the thread selection. I'd like to use soemthing neutral but not invisible thread if I can help it. Too ligh won't look good on the figures and too dark won't look well on the background. I will do stitch in the ditch on the borders and the meandering in the body of the quilt.
The stars were cut out as one piece and fused to the border. I tried piecing them, but that looked awful!
