Hi Lorraine, I quilted over my stitcheries and like you I pondered long and hard on what to do. In the end I realised that the main feature of the quilt was the stitcheries and that the quilting was just a background thing holding the layers together so I kept it very low key and meandered my way through it.
good luck with your decision and good on you for getting this far.

This is something I've been wondering too. Some suggested to me about doing outlines.
Its always hard to make these decissions on how.... where..... what to quilt, I'm not sure either but I won't quilt over stitcheries but thats a very personal choice.
Good luck girl,
Helen
I didn't quilt my stitcheries, as they are the real feature of the quilt I had the rest stippled by my gorgeous quilting lady, as soon as the binding is sewn down I share the end result....Its on my to do list, which keeps on growing lol
getting someone to quilt mine as I can't do that bit.......but I don't want anything on the stitcheries.......
