All stitched by machine (satin stitch) and it looks good to me:

Thanks Lesley, its those curly bits in yellow that are giving me pause, I cannot sew that much by hand. Initially, I thought I would do something modified by machine...

It is a BEAUTIFUL quilt! I had just about decided I would use a cream background with reds and pinks, although I have a lovely bundle of batiks I purchased at a quilt show last year that want to be used! :lol:
