What type of quilting are you comfortable with? I would SID around the wreath, then put a fill of some kind in the white - meandering, loops, whatever you're good at. I'd keep the quilting in the wreath minimal (maybe just SID around each block) and if you use a loftier batting and a denser fill in the white the wreath will 'puff up' a bit, giving more dimension. Holly leaves in the border.

Good luck, it's an adorable quilt!

I agree. I think this would make your beautiful quilt even more beautiful.

Your quilt is absolutely beautiful? Did you follow a pattern; and, if so, what was it?

Love your wreath! I would stich in the ditch.
did you make your own pattern? I have the little twister template, but never used it. Was it easy to use?
your wreath will make a fantastic wall hanging.
