And, those lovely batiks need to be seen, too... I can't call it stitch in ditch, or 1/4" quilting, as I think sid is too close, and 1/4" is too far, hence 1/8"...lol...ah well, that is why we all are unique, eh?..
Good luck, and I know there will be others along who will have lots of great quilting ideas for you!!

PS Now on the borders, I think a design that picks up designs in your quilt would be lovely...
:thumbup: :thumbup: :thumbup: As another "old Fashioned" hand quilter, I agree 100%, but then I'm an 'ole lady' anyway. I love 'outline' quilting, as it brings out the beauty of both fabric & design. So some may say 'ugh' about mine too.
