Hello all. I'm about to finish piecing my string quilt top and am wondering the best way to quilt it. This is my first quilt. My blocks are 6.5" and each one has 13 strips. If I stitch along every seam line in the quilt will it end up too stiff? Should I stitch every other one? I don't want a loose quilt, I want it to be cuddly but not too crumply, if that makes any sense. I also want to try FMQ but am a little scared and have no idea what style would best compliment the pattern with my limited skills.

Thanks for any tips!!

Hilary
