What I will tell you is that this project is made from t-shirts.  In the past when I free motion machine quilt t-shirts, I machine quilt around the lettering and any designs.  This makes it sometimes difficult to then backstitch around the lettering.  For the first shirt I quilted last night I decided just to meander stitch the background and not machine stitch around the lettering.  Since I am experimenting, I only did one shirt before I got out the embroidery floss to start the handwork.  I don't have enough backstitching done to make a decision yet.  Here is the back right now with the floss I am using for this shirt.  You can just see the meander stitching a bit - hard to see with that busy fabric - and the backstitching.
Love those fabrics.
