!!!beautufull!!!

is the white fabric aida? or regular fabric?

do you know how to hand quilt??? it would look cute to machine stitch in the sashing and then hand quilt in the white.

dont worry about matching the thread to the backing, use what is best for the front and let the back be whatever it turns out to be ;)

It is white aida. I don't know how to do quilt at all (hand nor machine). I teaching myself and would like to learn how to do both. Would it be possible to quilt the white around the babies just to the batting? Using white warm and natural (I think that is what it's call) batting and then do the purple backing. (a dummy here)

I would quilt the sashing and borders not the blocks. You could echo around the embroidery but I would jus tleave them. I would not heavily quilt as it will take away from those beautiful blocks.

Absolutely gorgeous, I would only quilt ing the sashing. I know the amount of work you put into the crocheting, and I wouldn't attempt to put quilting in the squares. The crocheting is all it needs.

A masterpiece. What a beautiful quilt. It will be treasured, I'm sure. No wonder it took so long to do. You did a great job.

Merry Christmas and Happy New Year!!

I would do some echo quilting around the cross stitch figures. Maybe some wonky hearts in the light corner stones with a varigated lavender/purple thread. And use your dark purple of the backing for the binding. Add some borders as per Jo M depending on what finished size you desire. Great work.
