I am just about to start quilting the Storybook farm, lots of animals and farm scenes. The quilting looks pretty simple on the pattern picture, but has anyone done a more elaborate quilting on this type of quilt? Not sure how to handle all the grass, trees, scarecrow, etc. This is to go in our Kenyan Quilt Show, so I would like it have that "wow" factor.

This is an older one, Story Book farm. I did one years ago, but was never quite happy with my quilting (pre-quilting machine and frame). Since there are tons of fusible pieces, I still plan on roughly going around each piece, but then doing more creative things like leaves on the trees, etc. Those big spots are obvious colours choices, but for the outlining? Would you use invisible? Or change colours all the time?
But you are right about the unforgiving needle holes. I have a lovely little sample to try stitching out some different things, but thanks for the idea about how to make the holes smaller.
Big breath, here I go for round two.
