Here is a cross stitch that I made and plan to quilt around for a wall hanging. I have some great pinks and brown fabrics for it. My problem is that I am not sure what to do as I don't want to take away from the cross stitch too much. Does anyone have any suggestions as far as what type and size blocks I should do around this? I thought maybe just borders but it will actually be an oval shape around the cross stitch and then out from there. Please let me know. Thanks so much. :)

You did a beautiful job on this cross stitch! I don't have any ideas for you, but this is absolutely beautiful. Motherhood is so special!

A beautiful crosstitch project. I am not good at knowing what you should add but I will be watching to see what some of these other talented members have to say. Color-wise soft colors will work great.

Beautiful cross stitch.
Not sure about how to put it together. (I'm at work and numbers are going through my head, not quilt designs)

I would frame it kind of like a picture frame. Maybe a thin inner brown border (imitating matting in a framed picture) & then a green outer border for a "frame".

well, I noticed there is pink in the picture, so what about one of the borders having pink in it?
I think it would bring the eye back to the picture. I'd just lay some fabric under it and "audition" them to see what I liked best.
It's just beautiful. I love cross stitch. Wish I had more time to do it.

Your cross stitch is really nice! Either bordered like a frame or maybe a trip around the world in subtle prints would look nice.
