Your pictures are just fine! I have spent sleepless times just to find the job was not as big or complicated as I first thought! Your quilt is adorable and I like that you are doing it for a giving neighbor. I think loose loopy stippling would be just fine. I like your idea. Great job, Rebecca!
I finished my x-stitched quilty piece. I did make progress on my leaf quilt. I am machine quilting around the leaves now. I have already quilted the pieced squares. I am so loving seeing the progress everyone is making!
