Jamie, I find meandering easier than SITD. Just think of large puzzle pieces. Practice on any surface with the index finger of your writing hand first. A dry erase board is nice, too, so you can trace your puzzle design over and over until it feels comfortable to you. I think the curves will look good with the straight lines in your pattern.

That's what I was thinking too. Stippling could make the quilt stiff but only SID may not secure all of the cross-seams inside the squares. I'd go for the best of both worlds. It's pretty!

welcome to the quilting board and happy quilting

Totally agree ojn this advice. Stippling looks easy, but takes some paractice. And since this is a special quilt I would practice first, so you don't end up in tears

Forgot to menthion, there are "stitch in the sitch' feet for most sewing machines. they make doing it accurately so much easier. Does your machine have one or can you get one? I love mine for my pfaff

I agree with stippling.. will make it hold up better. I love your fabrics. I think you did an awesome job!

I would either stipple or stitch NOT in the ditch, lol. I've always found stitching IN the ditch to be very difficult, so I'd recommend a straight stitch 1/4" out from the seams, like this: (scroll down to the 3rd picture for a close-up)

just a suggestion you may want to check out Leah Days website on free motion quilting..she has great videos and instruction

What a beautiful quilt and you did a great job! I like the meandering (large stipple) for baby quilts, but whatever you decide it will certainly be lovely.
