I am new at all of this and have only read of one other person besides myself doing this, but have you thought about quilting your backing, maybe just meandering around the lovely owls, not really outlining them. I did this for my first quilt the back was all cars, the top looked very nice. At least according to everyone who has commented on it. It is posted under (pictures forum as "Christopher's Quilt". You have to look at the second posting in order to see both sides. Like I said I am new at all of this. OH! You quilt is very pretty for a little one and I love the owls.
