On something like this I would most outline. I would outline the dresdan plates and either outline the squares or quilt a line down the center. I am not a fancy quilter and there isn't much room to do much. I guess you could quilt an overall pattern but you have lots of seams to get through. I might put a small flower in the middle of the dresdan or I might just outline the circle a couple of times. How do you see it? Yes, I think I would outline the dresdans and hope they puff just a bit and do something in the center. It's yours to envision. It's a great looking quilt and you get to decide what you see.
