Quilt in Progress

Here's a sneak peek at what I've been working on.

It has been lots of fun coming up with different quilting motifs for this baby quilt.  I've used several sizes of stippling, feathers, curlicues, mountain/valley stitches, leaf patterns, and anything else I can think of to enhance the design. 

I have a question.  Should I quilt within the animal figures?  Right now they are popping out because of the dense stippling pattern around them.  Should I do a little quilting inside, around the eyes perhaps or those polka dots on the owls belly - what do you think?

  1. Oh how cute!! I like the way the owl is popping out now. Maybe just a little straight stitching around his eyes and nose. Looking forward to seeing the finished quilt!

  4. This is just the cutest thing! I agree with a straight stitch around the eyes but I think that's probably all you want on the animals. I'm afraid around the circles will flatten it too much. Maybe I just like the puffy look. :) blessings, marlene
