I finally strayed away from free motion quilting and attempted cross hatch instead. Instead of drawing lines on, I used painters tape to guide me and it worked like a charm. I really love it now that it's washed and dried. It feels lighter than a stippled quilt. Don't get me wrong, I still love the stippling! (the picture of the back looks funny, but I swear, it looks fine in real life!)
When I laid it on the bed I thought "That's it! I need to have another baby." So, either I have to stop making quilts, or I'm in big trouble.

Oh, I love it. Did you use white horizontal strips between the colored block rows? meamom at ymail dot com
"guess who" - you first!
Marydon - you're too kind!
Me? A Mom? - That's exactly right. 5" strips of white between rows. The blocks are 3, 2.5" x 5" strips sewn together. The white pieces between colored blocks are 6" x 5"... if I remember correctly!
Sorry, meant to add that the finished quilt measures 36.5" x 46.5"
Love love love the colors you used on this quilt. How far apart is your quilting?
The back looks fine, by the way!
Kristy - I think the tape I used is 2" wide. I do like it, but might go bigger next time around.
The orange fabric works so well! Lovely quilt!
I vote baby. Do I get a vote?
