I know a lot of modern quilters are advocating that, and I tried it, but I decided it was way too much of a PitA and took too long with quarter inch seams, so I still press mine to one side.Melissahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15452687167914301833noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6854669988101474029.post-4544707352430515012011-07-31T22:14:15.059-07:002011-07-31T22:14:15.059-07:00Fun!

As this is a quilt meant to be used and loved, stippling seems like a really practical choice. But maybe some wavy/curvy lines that echo the design would be an interesting, but not too difficult, non-stipple alternative (since it kind of sounds like you're stippled-out?)? I do think the variegated thread would be a fun touch on this quilt.Robinhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03695273565973900159noreply@blogger.com
