I like it! I'm not very good at "stippling", try making cursive "e" rows and "c" rows! Or cursive "L" rows. Once you get into that groove, you are in it! Here's a quilt with the "L"s. http://www.quiltingboard.com/main-f1...ml#post5367271
You might want to sew your sandwich around the edges before you start too.
Another thing that I found to be very helpful is to draw a design on the fabric and sort of trace it with the sewing machine. Don't stress about it, but it helps me know where to go to next, without seeing a big, open wide space. http://www.quiltingboard.com/attachm...-df-quilt3.jpg See? It also helps get you out of those tight spots, which is easier to do with a pen than with a sewing machine! If I see that I messed up, I will go over the spot in a different color pen, as you can see in the top right hand corner. I didn't like the orange markings, so I started again with purple!

Best of luck to you! Remember: have fun!
