I concur, just simple with the walking foot to keep from shifting.

I would either do simple quilting or "tie" it with an embroidery pattern at intervals. I used an airplane design for my grandson's quilt and he loved it.

I don't think you have to quilt the whole thing to keep the layers together. I made a summer quilt and when the two fabrics were layered and done.....to the point that yours is......what I did was mark off 10 or 12 spots on the quilt and using my sewing machine and a matching thread, I just did a stitch-in-place 5 or 6 times (I used my quilting foot with the feed dogs down), then moved onto the next marked spot. It was just enough to hold the 2 layers....not enough to define a design.

I've used a decorative stitch. One that I hopped around and placed in various areas to hold the two pieces together.

It depends on the size. If you made a very small baby quilt, maybe not. But, anything larger needs something to hold it together even if it is only knotted at strategic points. This keeps the pieces lined up - especially after washing. But, it does not need allover quilting. Look at it and decide on something simple (STID or a diagonal line). You can always add more detail later.
