You do very well with your meandering/stippling. When you can be relaxed enough to keep the spacing quite large, the quilt is warmer.
The first time I really put an effort into stippling, added to my "control issues" ... I got the stitching so dense and close together that you could take that queen sized quilt with two fingers and hold it up and it would stay out straight ... no warm fuzzies in that quilt! LOL
If you are going to try something new, the tutorial on "over the top feathers" will be very helpful to you. I am currently quilting a double wedding ring quilt and having read the tutorial, I was able to translate that onto the quilting frame/machine set up I have. I even got brave enough to put a few ribbons and bows into the quilting because of that tutorial ...
The more you quilt, the more you will try, the more creative you will get.
I think you are doing a very fine job. Keep up the good work!
And, thanks for sharing. It is such an encouragement to see how others get their work done, and such an inspiration to see their color combinations, etc.
