The pink one is quilted in about a 6" rose pattern. I trimmed it in a creamy crocheted lace and it really has a victorian feel to it. Not what I had in mind but I loved the end result. I am so tempted to make this one again, I wish I could find this fabric in soft purple!
Yes, I think meander is the way to go. SITD round the blocks would outline the hexs and you really want them to disapear. Any chance of a bigger photo of the rosie one? I'd love to see that quilting pattern and no matter how close to the screen I get my nose, I just can't! :D I love the idea of the lace trimming!
