I also learned that stippling does not cross lines, meandering can depending on what pattern you are doing.

What rules? There are rules? You are the one working on the quilt and being creative. Who knows, you could create a new fad by breaking the so-called rules, and then someone will think up a "rule" to go with that.

#1 Rule - Do what YOU like. Cat quilt and fish sounds like a "purr-fect" match to me!! Do not listen to the sourpuss.
However, if I am doing free motion and I mess up and cross over another line that I was not planning on - I always do it several more times in the quilt so it looks planned.

the difference between stipling and meandering is:
WHEN STIPPLING NO LINE TOUCHES OR CROSSES-
when meandering you can have loops, stars, flowers, what ever - meandering across your quilt---
just tell who ever- i meandered- i did not stipple. :)
it s not so much a rule- it's just the difference between the two techniques- a stipple is a quilting design that looks like puzzle pieces with no touching/crossing-
just a technique---

I've heard that stippling is "small" meandering and they are both like puzzle pieces. However, it's your choice to quilt however you desire. Tell the quilt police that it is your own design. There are so many ways to do it. Have you seen Leah Day's website and her 365 project for background quilting? http://www.daystyledesigns.com
