Ok I started a quilt wall hanging for my dad back in February and had set my mind on trying to do stipple stitch... I'm really bad at doing a random pattern and making it look good so I went out and bought a stipple stencil and marked it with the chalk stuff. Well, I got really intimidated with actually doing the stipple, even with a pattern because it would take forever and well, i knew i would mess it up. So it sat for 7 months with the stipple pattern on it on the floor of my bonus room... I decided after my 13 year old daughter nagged me to finish my quilt and that I want to give this to my dad soon so I broke down and did the criss cross quilting pattern instead where i run tape longways along the quilt in 2 different directions.. It was easy and i got the quilting done. Now all i have left is the edging. So, is it wimpy of me to take the easy way out? Do any of you change your plans and do something easier to get your quilt done?
