I would not quilt over top of the fairies. I'm new to the site so I don't know all the abbreviations yet but I would do the border, then the pinwheels, then a small quilting around the fairies but not through them. Does that make sense to anyone else?

thanks for the encuragement. I have the machingers also but it must look funny sewing in underwear (its unbearable hot right now) and wearing gloves......
Again midnight over here. I am sure I will have a FMQ dream!?
BTW: I think it is a good idea to go by according colors but do you think I can quilt with normal sewing thread as i only have off white and blue machine quilting thread?

Try samples of the designs you want with the thread you have. If I don't have the quilting thread I want, I use Gutterman's sewing thread. If your machine likes it, go for it!
Here is a picture of the swirls I just did. I also did the triangles on mine. It blended with some of the stars, but contrasted with the background.

Gosh Granny_59!! If that's one of your first quilts I am totally intimidated!! It is flat out fabulous! The colors are vibrant, the stitching sharp, and the delight in thinking of that baby is obvious all over it! What a treasure. Cross hatch stitch it. Straight lines at an angle. Kinda like squares but from top left to bottom right.

thanks Sharoni
actually it is my fifth.
you dont know what this feedback means to me! I am sweating under this quilt for hours and are just halfway through with the SID. This gives me much more time to think about the visible quilting.
@Katier: your quilting is stunning! I will sure practice on the triangles.
