Hi, friends. I'm trying to decide how to finish up this wedding quilt for my DGS and his bride but am having a hard time. I sure could use some ideas from all of you.

This is the quilt top. I had to make it larger than the original quilt for a queen sized bed so I added a blue skinny border and then the drop width with those delectable mountains on the edge.

So, here's the problem. The elephant is elaborately quilted with grey thread and it's coming out okay. But how should I quilt the background? And, should I quilt the inner background differently than the outer background?

Here's the two thoughts I've had. I could quilt wiggly vertical lines across the entire background or I could do a meader stitch across the whole thing. Or, I could do the wiggly lines inside the blue border and meader outside the blue border. I've ordered peach thread for the background. I'll SITD around the blue and do an echo stitch for the mountains.

Any suggestions? Which of my ideas would you choose? Or maybe you can come up with something entirely different. Help!
