Put in a heavy poly batting and actually, don't quilt it to death, just put on a lovely easy going pattern and you will like it a bit better. To much quilting on something like this actually shows the boo boos more. At least in my experience. That is my thought. I like these kinds of quilts because we can look back and reflect how far we have come in our skills and learning. The fabrics are so busy, no worries in my book for ya. I have a couple of these also and the kids love to use them because they seem to have the most comfort.
