I'd like to see the cups outlined so they would show on the back. If I were using a domestic sewing machine I'd baste the rows and columns to keep all in place. The do each cup,and maybe saucer too. Then I'd do either a curving or straight line all over pattern around the rest of the areas. To decide which quilting to do I'd probably draw a representative few blocks on drawing paper and place a plastic protector over it, then draw on the plastic with wipe off pens. Or, I would copy the representative blocks and just draw on t hose. Then I could decide which I like. ali
