Default Finished Mini Dresden Plate top - need help with quilting please!!!

Okay - I just finished a small Dresden Plate top and got the binding made. Now my question - I don't know how to quilt it. Normally I just do stitch in the ditch which I do enjoy doing, but if I just stitch the lines of the sashing that won't be enough. I don't think I want to go around all the plates with SITD. Any suggestions? I even considered tieing it (not wild about that) using pastel variegated yarn - on each intersection and in the middle of each plate. If I did that I even thought of tieing it so that the yarn is hanging on the back rather than on the front. ???

My second question - I was wondering how it would look if I added a white border before quilting and binding it. If not a white border maybe a white flange with the binding. Any input.

Thanks - I don't know what we'd all do without this board - especially when you have no one handy to give input.

Pat (in Pittsburgh but back to FL in 2 weeks - yea!!!!
