If you want to finish quickly, I'd vote for a largish stipple. A small stipple will take more time and make the quilt stiffer.

I agree, a larger stipple would be great. I love the way baby quilts look after they have been stippled and washed. Your quilt is lovely and the mom will always think of you when she uses this quilt. I have a quilt made for my son 40 years ago, way before quilting became what it is today. I can still visualize the quilt and her. Don't forget to sign it in some way.Originally Posted by wishfulthinking

Thank you for all of the input! I have only practiced stippling in a smaller design so I will have to go home and practice a large stipple. I need to figure out how to sign it
You have made a really great quilt. I'm not that good at meandering so I'll recommend stitch in the ditch. It's easier to do when first learning to quilt. Good luck.
just a suggestion you may want to check out Leah Days website on free motion quilting..she has great videos and instruction
Jamie, I find meandering easier than SITD. Just think of large puzzle pieces. Practice on any surface with the index finger of your writing hand first. A dry erase board is nice, too, so you can trace your puzzle design over and over until it feels comfortable to you. I think the curves will look good with the straight lines in your pattern.
welcome to the quilting board and happy quilting

Forgot to menthion, there are "stitch in the sitch' feet for most sewing machines. they make doing it accurately so much easier. Does your machine have one or can you get one? I love mine for my pfaff
I would either stipple or stitch NOT in the ditch, lol. I've always found stitching IN the ditch to be very difficult, so I'd recommend a straight stitch 1/4" out from the seams, like this: (scroll down to the 3rd picture for a close-up)
