    Question How would you "quilt" this quilt?

    I had asked prior about FMQ'ing and where to do it so as to not make the quilt stiff. Do I do it just inside the seams or all over the quilt, crossing seams. I should have waited until I could post a pic of hte quilt I am working on.

    So here is the picture...now....where do you all suggest I do the FMQ"ing? I have just learned stippling and meandering is the same only farther apart. However, going over the seams....with how my quilt is assmebled...do I just start at the top and work my way down in any way so long as the area is covered properly? I know to start in the middle but do I STID first, then stipple? Or no STID if I stipple? How would you "quilt" this quilt?

    Any suggestions would be greatly appreciated and also..if you know of a good site that offers free stippling pattterns, please let me know. I bought a stencil to doing it inside the strips, but I think that will only look good if I am just STID and then the stencil pattern. And if meandering is farther apart than stippling....how far apart? I would think maybe that would leave more "room" for softness in the qilt and not make it so stiff. I also use that thin cotton batting, no fluffy thickness. I am wondering if the fluffy kind is better for more cushion to better help avoid the stiffness...any thoughts?
    It is for a 3 year old little girl so softness and cuddeliness is a MUST!!!

    Center sq is 1`0x10 with 1 inch black border. Pink,dot and green squares are 4"x4" and red sashing is 2".. Pink border is 1" and dot border is 2". Binding will be in black...abt 1". Back is a fleece (of minnie mouse face!) Quit measures about 50x60 - near twin bed size.

    Thanks every one!
