As I've mentioned in my previous blog, I want to really try and catch up fast so I combined Quilt Along #2 (Quilting in Rows) and Quilt Along #3 (Playing with Scale)
I apologize for the poor light in these photos, I did it at night, and the light was not ideal.
I started on left side of the fabric and worked to the right, when I reached the end, I just followed the design and worked back to the left.
The whole time I tried hard to keep with the scale I started, which was at about 1/4" wide. I liked working on that scale as I could stitch quite a bit before I had to move my hands.
I kept going from left to right, and then right to left again, and when I was about 3/4 of the way down I decided to make the design a bit smaller, this time it was about 1/8" wide.
I didn't enjoy stippling on such a small scale, as it takes much longer to fill a row... I guess that's why I decided to do only such a small piece.
The large scale stippling was easy and nice to follow. The piece of fabric I had left went really fast, as I was covering so much more space. The stitching was around 1/2" wide. I would like to try it on a even bigger scale.
So here is my finished practice block for Quilt Along #2 & Quilt Along #3
