I almost do FMQ on my quilts. I quilt no more than 3-4", no matter what the batting bags instructs. I am afraid the large spaces would eventually cause the batting to break up.

I also do cross-hatching on the pictures with this kind of design.
|
I do like the idea of picking features within the block to echo stitch or just outline stitch.
|
I also like the idea of quilting around some of the bigger features in each block. Then I would quilt the window "frames" like feline fanatic did because I think this really gives the block depth, emphasizing the frames nicely. As if you needed another opinion!?!?

Tartan. YOU are why I send most of my quilts "out". I can never come up with such good ideas. And, Feline Fanatic, I love your lines around your kitties......Kudoo's to both of you

[ATTACH=CONFIG]437811[/ATTACH]I think I would outline stitch a few of the main features in the focal fabric squares to prevent wrinkling. I would then reinforce the perspective in the attic windows with some lines. I will try and post a picture but this new ios7 upgrade on my iPad is giving me fits.

I think Tartans idea is great. Don't let the quilt intimidate you. We all started somewhere, and when you get it quilted you will know instinctively if you have done enough. Above all, have fun
