I think it is an awesome quilt. If you don't want to send it out either cross hatching or stipple/meandering around the cross stitch would look good.

I'm not that good at giving quilting hints but I have to tell you that you did a great job with your embroidery. Thanks for sharing with us.

Not ugly, very pretty. I would take it to a long arm quilter, it will be beautiful. I think the blue marks will come out in time. Please let us see the finished quilt!

I'm coming in late to the party here but I just want to say that I think the quilt is beautiful! I'm with the others in that I would outline everything and then crosshatch. I think that would look wonderful with the cross stitching! I think your going to completely change your mind about this quilt once you've got it quilted. It's a diamond in the rough! Good luck!

I got side tracked by a hurry up quilt, but this one is next on the agenda and I will start it by next week. I think I will attempt it just s you have suggested. I'll post a new picture when it is finished.

I love your story and the quilt is very pretty. It is a survivor after all this time and will come to life once it is quilted, how ever you decide to do it. Personally, I wouldn't quilt over the cross stitching. Outline it and then fill in the open areas any way you can. Once you start to do the batting, backing and basting you will get ideas.
