You did a beautiful job! I'd go with quilting it regardless of it not being reversible. I just made some for my BIL and SIL using some fabric with Maryland Blue Crabs, a beautiful blue center and black with red lobsters on the reverse. I kept it very simple and just did evenly spaced lines using a decorative stitch on my machine and they turned out fantastic. My SIL is still raving about them being to nice to use. As for asking questions, that is how we learn and if there was ever a finer bunch of folks to ask they are members of this board.
