Stitch in the ditch (SID) for hand quilting means stitching on the actual joining line of seams so that you cover the little stitches used to piece patches together - they are visible from the right side of work!! The same is true of machine SID, if you use invisible thread on top you should not be able to see the stitching at all. Echo quilting 1/4" outside petals with thread colour of choice is popular and will give a raising effect to flower. Your runner is lovely and bright.
