I would stitch in the ditch to stabalize it, both horizontally and vertically, then I would do free motion around the buggies to make them pop out, then some simple stippling around the borders. That should do it! Good luck!

Now I've run out of ideas - I have no clue what to do with the borders!

I love the stippling around the carriages. It will make them pop. How about circles inside the wheels? More stippling in the border would be simple.

I agree. This is a lovely baby quilt.

I would outline the baby carriages, SITD the 4 patch and FMQ the border. Not as creative as some other suggestions but I haven't been quilting that long.

Love the quilt and especially like the way you used bright colors. I do have one question. Are yo-yos washable?Knowing that this is a baby quilt that will probably be washed a lot, I was just curious to know how yo-yos stand up with multiple washings.
