How shoudl I quilt my fairy quilt godmother?
 

So, I finished her. I think I'm not really a piecing person. I don't enjoy the exactness of the process nor do I like to sew short, short lines with my machine. I think I'm more a FMQ person.

Being a beginner there is still one part of the process that escapes me. How do I quilt something like this? I could quilt her hair and the background and perhaps her dress. Would that be enough or will her face look dull? I mean - it's such a big surface?

I've yet to add the borders but here she is... my crazy fairy quilt godmother. Let her bring happiness and harmony to all my future projects:

She turned out just wonderfully!
How are you going to use the finished piece? I'm guessing a wall hanging. If it's not going to be handled a lot, I would leave her face un-quilted. You might want to stitch in the ditch around her mouth, eyes and eyebrows, but other than that, just quilt as you mention: hair, dress & background.

I agree with Paper Princess.

Ok, thanks for the advice. I'm going to hang her in my sewing room so she won't be handled. I'll quilt as you suggest!
She's not perfect but I really like her. I think she got some of my personality!

Just checked on mine, I did a stitching line just inside "my" face and made a few swirly hair curls as well. You can see some of the quilting http://www.quiltingboard.com/picture...r-t137133.html

Great job on yours, fun and almost done!

Totally agree.

Think she came out great.. I made one, and she still isn't quilted.. don't have a clue what I will do with her..

Thanks for the input! I got her quilted and ready. I'm pleased with her but my old Viking decided to act up and I had thread tension issues and stitch length issues. One of the belts must have caught some oil since it seemed like it was slipping. Here she is:
