Stipple or hearts?
I completed this quilt some time ago but am ready to quilt it on my long arm! I am making this for a dear friend who helps me with my mom. I was going to just strew hearts in various directions and then I thought about stippling and researched how to do that process. I have been looking at all the beautiful quilts on the board and now I am back to be indecisive. So, how should I quilt this? It has denim squares and bandana handkerchiefs .

Stippled hearts! where each stipple "loop" goes wide and has a pointy indent in the middle like a heart.
I am terrible at "quilting" with my computer mouse, but this is roughly what I mean. It's easy to do. I can even do it on my ancient longarm with no stitch regulator! It looks much prettier in thread, and creates a very sentimental overall pattern that looks like stippling from a distance but communicates love closeup.
