I definitely want the curved circle designs on/around the squares. I also plan to hand quilt the appliqued dolls. I originally thought I would do an angular stipple in the white space, but now that I've drawn it out, I don't really like that. I considered doing the traditional matrix design, but I'd love to try something more unique. I'm just not sure. Here's a close up:

Here's a picture of the entire quilt top before I added the borders:

I think I'd like to try something that is more linear/angular rather than curvy in those white spaces, but I'm open to considering any suggestions. I've seen beautiful Sunbonnet quilts with feathered wreaths around the dolls, but I don't have enough space on my quilt for that to look nice.
I can do straight line designs or beginner/advanced beginner FMQ designs (I'm willing to try something that is an easier intermediate design), but struggle to quilt hooks. In the borders I'm doing a row of hearts (the little "flowers" in the pink border are actually comprised of 7 tiny hearts each) or some feathers. Here's the design I'm using for that:

Many thanks in advance!!!!!
