That's one of the cutest Sunbonnet Sue and Sam quilts I've seen in a long time -- such great fabric choices! When I quilted mine, I did diagonal lines about 1" or 1-1/2" apart inside the blocks up to the appliques. You usually don't quilt through appliques. I think I did some kind of simple flower motif in the sashing. I have a picture, but I don't think the quilting design is clear in the picture.

just a sample...each sue had the same hat 'edging' but everyone was holding a different toy or flower and each set of streamers on the bows were done to fit in the space and so differently...
PS...LOVE your fabric choices...so cute...and the colors...i love dark colors for small children...

the cross-hatch suggestions are good options-- you could also just do an (echo) quilting- around each applique- with the lines 1/2"-1" apart
