Your mom is going to love this quilt. I think I would a small stipple in all the white areas and SID around everywhere else. Be sure to post a picture when you've completed this quilt.

Your quilt is quite lovely, I have found straight lines to be more difficult than circles and swirls. I liked the idea of circles. You can always practice on a piece of muslin sandwiched with batting to try out something new.

Debbie B,

I like the idea of just stippling the white area and in the ditch everything else. For my very limited FMQ skills I might be able to accomplish that!

Grace, for me circles are more challenging than stippling. Perhaps with more practice I will be able to be better at it. I still have 6 months to work on this.......I am way ahead of the game on this christmas gift!!!

You might draw a square or two - make a photo copy - then draw you quilting with a pencil to see what looks good - then practice with a quilt sandwich. Lots of research. That is one very pretty quilt.

Beautiful quilt top!! I see it with some beautiful feathers, soft curvie designs of some sort..practice on paper.. then on fabric sqs. (then ask an expert FMQer to have mercy) I think straight lines are the most challenging! Really is fun to draw on quilts with sewing machine.. Your quilt is beautiful!
