Is this enough quilting?


I've machine quilted along both sides of the seams of this
baby I Spy quilt, but I don't want to interfere with the prints. 
I'm wondering aloud how to proceed,
and considering hand quilting a small motif
in each 6 inch block
just to avoid unnecessary puckering.

Personally, I would add more stitching to this quilt, but based on thus photo it looks like your quilt is already bound. If I could make a suggestion, maybe you could add a bright red pearl cotton thread with large hand quilting stitches in diagonal lines through the blocks.

More quilting! Generally the type of batting will tell you how far apart the quilting lines can be at maximum. But I always like closer quilting. Especially if the quilt is going to be washed a lot, like for a child.

I don't know which batting you used but it looks like a five inch square and you should be good to go... If you are concerned you can do a hidden tie or not in the center of each block

I'm sure it would be secure, but more quilting always looks great :)
