I have recently finished hand quilting a queen with stitches just a bit outside of SITD. The piece that had the stitching was small enough that the 1/4" quilting wasn't "pretty" on that. It overtook the piecing, rather than highlighting it. Preview a few of the pieces to see which you like best on this project. One thing about it, hand quilting is easy to remove when you see how it looks and which you like best.
