as a longarmer, I would say take the flowers and buttons off before sending it to a longarmer. Yes, they can quilt around, but most will charge extra to do this. You can add them back after quilting. If you are going to quilt it, you can go around the flowers yourself. As on how to quilt it?? many ways come to mind, something with curves to calm all of the straight lines. Maybe a feathered vine in the center. in the boarder echo the vine and shadow it in the oppisite corners.
