Default quilting advice needed

If I am posting in the wrong place please forgive me. I just joined. I am wondering how to quilt this wallhanging. I does have steam a seam on it and the squares are small so I do not want to do that much stitching. Just enough so it will keep its shape. Thanks for any help you can give me. I am pretty much a beginner

If it is a wall hanging, you don't need to densely quilt it as it won't be washed and handled a lot. It is very cute! I think i would just quilt along the edges of the design elements (grass, leaves, butterflies) to help them Pop out a little, and leave the rest without quilting.

Welcome from Central California. Your wall hanging is very pretty and I agree with the others about the quilting.
