Your cross hatching idea isn't a bad one, but I'm thinking you've done such a nice job on your appliqué, if you're able to outline them with stitching in the ditch and then meander around them, it would set off your work nicely!

I would also crosshatch the background. You might rethink and use a shade of gray instead. Never hurts to audition thread colors before making a final choice. Cute pattern!

​I would outline my appliqué first and then cross hatch behind them but not over them. Cute top!

I agree. Gray cross-hatching would be very nice. What a cute design!

I'm with Tartan on this one. Think how cute it will be on the back as well to have those appliques "show up" again!

Your quilt is too cute so I would not stitch over the appliques. I like Tartan's idea as well.

I like an off white thread for cross hatching. I think it would show up much better than black or gray.

What a cute quilt top! No quilting suggestion though, as you have plenty of great advice above.....
