I love your quilt. If it was my own quilt I would take it to my favourite longarmer and ask what the cost would be for custom quilting. It is not a huge quilt so you may be pleasantly surprised at the price. Whatever you decide please let us see it again when it is done. Thank you for sharing.

My free motion is not the best. All I have is a small cheapy brother machine. Its fine for the most part for all over patterns but I worked very hard on this quilt and I don't think it would do it justice.

You've got stitching within each block that shows. What about simply stitching in the ditch for all sashing and borders?

Your quilt is just adorable! I agree with burchquilts...echo much of it. I'm of the opinion that less is more when it comes to quilting and don't like to see quilts where the design gets lost in the quilting

That is so nice and festive. I love it.

Very Beautiful!! You can outline the applique about 1/4" from your stitching and do some echoing in the backgrounds. Quilt some stars in the sky. Practice first on sample blocks with your DSM. As long as you have a FMQ/darning foot and feed dogs you can do it. In the early days of quilting for me I couldn't lower the feed dogs and just FMQ without putting them down and it worked fine. Good Luck.
