I used crayola washable markers (for kids) ... Ube (a member on here) mentioned them in a post and they are fabulous!!!! You do have to do a normal wash to get the markings out (by normal, I mean a load of at least 30 minutes). I tried a quick load of 20 minutes and the markings didn't come out. But a normal load of 41 minutes (my machine picks the length, not me!) gets all of the markings off no problem.

OK, so I did a 1/2 inch echo around the motifs and then I did something like matchstick quilting, except i did it FMQ style. It's in the wash right now, so once it is all done, I will post a pic.
Thanks for all the help! Greatly appreciated!

[QUOTE=Ellen 1;8169224]Marian, I think you will need to echo around your previous quilting to keep the background fills from "running into it". I could not tell if there was enough space to stipple/bubble into the circles etc or not. I did not think so from what I was able to see. I hope this helps give you some ideas. These are examples of stippling, bubbles and straight lines.
Oh Yes, I agree with Ellen 1. Ellen, great illustration of your ideas .
