Which stitch?
Hey everyone,
I am a new quilter, 21 years old and I'm trying to teach myself how to quilt. I have attached an image of the quilt I am working on (it's a car seat quilt) for my God child that is due this December! Please let me know whether you think I should use a stitch in the ditch technique or an all over stipple stitch. Thanks for your input! It's much appreciated!

Either way it is going to be lovely. If you have never done either of them, try whichever appeals more to you. When I started I could not stitch in the ditch to save my life. I think that is why I like free motiong quilting so much. Good luck and great quilt!

Thanks for the input everyone! I've been working hard on this, and I'm trying to finish it by Sunday. I have been practicing the stipple stitch quite a bit, and I'm slowly getting better (I hope!) it's just daunting to me to free-hand the whole quilt.
Any advice on the stipple stitch for a newbie?
Thanks again!

I agree, a larger stipple would be great. I love the way baby quilts look after they have been stippled and washed. Your quilt is lovely and the mom will always think of you when she uses this quilt. I have a quilt made for my son 40 years ago, way before quilting became what it is today. I can still visualize the quilt and her. Don't forget to sign it in some way.
