Here is a picture of it. As you can see, the applique does take up a lot of the top. It is machine app'd.
What I'm thinking is quilting some texture on the branches and leaves and flowers and I can put a lot more detail on it with a machine than I can with just a needle.
I am not in a hurry for it.

Is this acceptable? Or does it "need" to be all one or the other? I am hoping to give away or sell this quilt, so I can't go by the "Your quilt, your rules" motto. I need to worry about what someone else would like and would it hold it's value.
