That is going to be a real treasure for the Coach. I agree with the ideas listed above...SID and if you could do some echo type quilting around the hands...if not I think the SID would work just fine for your lovely quilt. You could do the X's or use different diagonal lines in the various patches of the 4 patch. You can make it as simple or complicated as you desire. This quilt is only a win/win for everyone no matter what you decided to do and I just love your design.
