Default opinions please

I tried Tartan's dragonfly tut http://www.quiltingboard.com/tutoria...n-t236646.html
I would have loved to use black for the background as she did, but my eyes don't deal with that too well. So I used a lighter background. I outline quilted each dragonfly, but the other seams show more on my lighter background. I was thinking of doing more quilting in front of each dragonfly... maybe a swirl with a fly or two in it. The gals at my weekly bee think it doesn't need more quilting. I'd still like some more opinions, though, before I finish it off. Also, should I put a thin border of the dragonfly fabric or just bind it with that fabric?

Also, this was my first attempt at sandwiching with Elmer's... I've been too timid to try. I LOVE it!!!

The background fabric is just a tad darker than it shows in this picture.
