More work on the monster quilt

This week I have almost finished the top of my monster quilt UFO.

 I had felt that the cornerstoned sashing produced a flare between the rows.  This indecision kept me from working on it for a week or so.

looking again the sashing does fit, and the additional solid stashing helps keep any slight flare in line. 

I had thought of breaking up the quilt into smaller ones - that maybe the smaller quilts would be more usable.  This again made me put off continuing work on it.  But looking again at the pattern picture, I still like that twin size.

I also picked up velcro to close the doors instead of the buttons called for.  Small hands can then more easily open those doors to see the monsters inside.



Now here's my question - how to quilt it.  I'm thinking straight stitching on both sides of the blue sashing  and the blue horizontal line in the wall.  The monster square is 5"x8" and should probably have something, but I'm afraid to take away from those monsters.  I used 80/20 poly cotton batting - and hope that will be enough to keep the bat from shifting.  I can't imagine quilting around each monster in the square!
