I agree with Quiltn Nan she has good insight into quilting. Your quilt is just awesome. Love it.

Quiltn Nan's idea is great. The lion will really pop then.

Very cute and quilting will make it even more so. Some good ideas have been posted already.

No matter what else you do, I see zzzzzz floating above the sleeping lion, perhaps as evening dragonflies, LOL!

I totally agree with Mathteacher - that was my first response. Quilt straight lines following the 'grass' to emphasize the texture and shape of grass. I'd quilt around the leaves and up and down the tree trunk (try to put several knot holes in it, too, again for texture). QuiltnNan had a great idea to quilt curls and waves in the mane and tail -- I'd SID for the rest of the lion. Just for fun, maybe quilt "ROAR!", "King of the Jungle" and even "Meow" (to see if anyone notices!!) in the border? Have fun with it - its a really fun quilt! Great job.

My first thought was, as someone else said, to quilt the background densely so the tree and lion will pop. I kind of like the idea of quilting the lines of the foliage in the background.

Also, use poly batting and remember a short stitch length in the background so the texture really pops.

Really cute, too!
