Great job on your quilt. I have a question for you and am not trying to be critical. It looks as if you only quilted the horizontal rows of the quilt and not inside each row. Is this correct? If so, I would be concerned that the batting will ball up and shift without some additional vertical quilting. I would hate for you to have to rip out and replace all of your batting. I had to do this for someone at church that had only done very minimal quilting.

Additionally, those long runs of unquilted area is going to put a lot of stress on the pieced seams and they are very prone to popping open. Especially when the quilt is washed and the weight of the top, batting and backing is pulling on them.

Pretty Quilt. I concur with the others regarding adding more quilting. The quilting is to stabilize everything and keep it from coming apart. When I buy a bedspread or coverlet with only the quilting going one way, I throw it on my long arm and add some type of design in the unquilted area. I have had all the quilting shift and the coverlet be ruined the first time I washed it.
