    Default Quilting suggestions?

    Hello! So I have finished my top and am looking for some suggestions for quilting. I am newer, so nothing super hard please! Not sure if I will hand quilt, send out to someone, or try on my new machine either.

    Also, from a suggestion from someone on this site, I will probably be adding additional batting under the heart to make it stand out a bit. The binding is a dark pink.

    Thanks everyone!

    I personally would big stitch quilt some diagonal cross hatching in the pink, and maybe a big feather in the heart and make the feather follow the heart shape. I would think that variegated pink Perle cotton would be really pretty.

    i might cross hatch the pink and echo stitch the heart, but not to close together in either area
