Example of Stippling... Yoohoo, Janet!!!

Janet asked me to show and example of stippling. A few years ago I made a pinwheel quilt for my son Caleb, and used a nice contrasting thread for the quilting, so I figured that would the one to use for this.

Stippling is a simple free-motion quilting design. Basically you meander around, making what looks like jigsaw puzzle piece outlines. It is very easy, and very relaxing to do.

Here is Caleb's quilt:

It isn't a very glamorous type of quilting, but it is quick, easy, and sturdy. I especially like it to use it for my kids' quilts as they tend to use them for tents, cuddling up on the couch, or just plan dragging around.
