Quilt Along with Leah Day #2

Hi. My name is Karin and I have been following Leah Day's Free Motion Quilting Project over the last year. I have been quilting since 2006 and have been free motion quilting for about 4 years. Here are my samples for this week's Quilt Along

Random Sample

I found random stippling actually quite challenging and found that it was hard to stipple in a consistent manner, a problem that I encountered before when I did stipple over a whole quilt. I think I have instinctively followed more of a row approach. It feels more natural and comes together more easily as a clear direction is followed.

Row Stippling

Close up

As you can see my stippling resembles 'Mickey Mouse' ears. When I first started to stipple that was the only way I could do wiggly shapes without getting completely lost.
