When I try stippling I get tired of it really quickly. If I did straight lines, I would go diagonally both directions across the quilt. I think pink thread would be pretty or a variegated. I like the idea of quilting her name in it, too. Whatever you do, it will be beautiful.LuAnnhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10805705253087258631noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1842721577085503845.post-66143564647549456332011-09-08T03:22:19.833+01:002011-09-08T03:22:19.833+01:00I think pale pink thread would be really pretty. S...I think pale pink thread would be really pretty. Stippling isn't as hard as I thought it would be; to practice, I whipped up a couple of simple 12" blocks and tried stippling on those until I was comfortable enough to do it on a larger quilt. Perhaps you could do the same, or practice on some scrap fabric first. Either way I can't wait to see it when you're done!Nataliehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01920759461540357511noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1842721577085503845.post-40384152058338256092011-09-07T23:32:54.001+01:002011-09-07T23:32:54.001+01:00PS - I'm following you.PS - I'm following you.Linda in Calif.https://www.blogger.com/profile/17976880355570847646noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1842721577085503845.post-59895596561700964982011-09-07T23:26:37.860+01:002011-09-07T23:26:37.860+01:00Don't you just love the great big leaves again...Don't you just love the great big leaves against the sky. Hey Lucy, you are so sweet to tell me the truth that I don't want to hear, that I need leaves. And here I come to your blog and see these wonderful leaves. That makes it so much better. It makes me almost want to make them LOL! Okay to answer your question, as a beginner freemotion quilter, I would think of some things she loves and quilt those on several of the blocks (big so that it takes up several blocks - like big flowers) and then stipple around them to fill in the rest of the squares. And in one area pick a darker color thread and freemotion stitch in her name.Linda in Calif.https://www.blogger.com/profile/17976880355570847646noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1842721577085503845.post-77641000920430832562011-09-07T23:20:27.490+01:002011-09-07T23:20:27.490+01:00This is a pattern i have been wanting to try too a...This is a pattern i have been wanting to try too and I would just do straight line quilting along the seams as Toni suggested as I don't think I could stipple a quilt as big as this one:)Kirstenhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08193446838823679202noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1842721577085503845.post-25437783117185022732011-09-07T23:07:25.826+01:002011-09-07T23:07:25.826+01:00Your quilt looks great!

I tend to always do straight line quilting about 1/4 inch from the seam lines on quilts like that.
