How do I know if I need background fill?
I am in the home stretch on my DH's birthday quilt. I am looking at it now, though, and I'm not sure if I need to do some filling in. I have enough quilting to cover the reccomendation for the batting. I just can't decide if I should keep going or stop. The block is approximately 12". I outlined the stars, the inside square of the star and the inside shape. The wool batting has given me a nice little puff. I know that I can get the stars to puff a bit more with a little stippling. The sashing is quilted with circles and the cornerstones 'xs' to represent hugs and kisses. So, really, more than enough quilting to keep it all together and prevent any shifting.
Part of me wants to call it done (birthday is 9/13, still have to bind and do label) but the other part wants to make sure it is extra special. I do, however, want it to remain warm and cuddly.
How do you know when to add or when to call it a day?
