Default Whole Cloth quilt - need some input please!

Hello to all my fellow quilters ... I'm seeking some guidance!

I'm doing another whole cloth ... a bit differently this time. I've used my machine to embroider 16 circles. They are in blocks of 10x10 ... so the square is 44x44 (that little extra!)

And then in the middle of them, I embroidered another design. You can see it below.

This is done on just the top of the fabric. I've discovered through trial and error that if I do it through all three layers, it is simply too messy in the back. And it makes it so tight, no matter how much I adjust my tension.

The batting and backing are now layered (yes, I need to baste, etc. so mind the wrinkles LOL) ... I'm trying to come up with ideas of how to join them. I had boxes around the circles with feathers and it just didn't look right. So I ironed them all off.

Some ideas to finish this off would be awesome.

Thanks so much

Marion
