Hi Tracy, oh your quilt is so beautiful! Your mom will love it any way you do it for sure. My handquilting isnt good, have only done a little, but i like stitching in the ditch around the patterns, and in large areas like triangles and stuff, some echo lines would be nice and easy too. I like stitching in the ditch, because it makes the quilt pattern stand out so much more. Mayber on your borders you could do hearts or something? But very pretty :)
