You will also need to stitich in the ditch or 1/4" in from the edge of the white square. And something simple in the sashing. Enjoy the journey. Don't worry about how long it takes. It will go easier the longer you do it. Here is a link to one I hand quilted. It is a center motif, so larger than most Dresden plates. https://www.facebook.com/12930409375...type=1&theater


That is the Sharon Shamber's quilt that she made for her daughter's wedding gift. WOW! You did a gorgeous job! Trying to copy the quilting ideas for when I start that quilt. Fabric is all washed and waiting for me to cut!
