Sometimes, meandering is all it needs...

 
 This is my spring quilt. The pattern is Abby Road's Ob La Di; the fabric is Heather Bailey's Nicey Jane. I wanted to compliment the vintage look by keeping the quilting super simple. I quilted a medium/small meander throughout the entire quilt. I love the results! I catch myself just staring at this quilt. I love it when a quilt turns out just the way you imagined it would.
Here is a close up of the quilting. Let me clarify the difference between meander and stipple. (This is just my opinion, not necessarily every quilters opinion.) A meander is a very basic quilting design... a stitch that "meanders" across the quilt. The only difference between a meander and a stipple is the size of the quilting. A meander is the design pictured above or bigger. Stippling is a meander stitch done very close together, tight and small. I will post a picture of stippling... eventually. =)
