Here is the center block of the baby quilt I am making. I am unsure of how to quilt around the monogram? I don't want the quilt to be stiff with dense quilting...any ideas? Thanks for your help.
Ps. The darker peach border will have cherries quilted. I am asking just about the lighter peach background around the monogram.

My first choice would be to outline the letters and then stipple the background to make the letters pop and to remove any wrinkles around the letters. Since you want a softer look, I might follow the outline of the center letters about 1/2 inch out and then continues that outline every 1/2 inch out until it reached the frame. Kind of like ripples on water.

My daughter wanted hearts around the monogram. The monogram is centered in a 12" square, however the top and bottom have more space than the sides. This design with the hearts works well so far. Thanks for your input and ideas!
