I tried something besides stippling for a change. I found this method in Fons & Porter's "Love of Quilting", Jan/Feb 2008. It's called "Continuous Curve Quilting". It's not supposed to make circles like this; I made mine very curvy. It's a pretty fast technique, though I should probably have slowed down a bit, but I was in a hurry!
This was the first quilt I ever made where I didn't buy ANYTHING for it. I had enough of the green backing. Rachel and I combined similar blues to fill out the sashing, and she had dozens of leftover half-square triangles from somewhere.
I even pieced the batting,which I had never done before. It worked fine; I can't even find the seam.
I'll have to remember to bring this quilt to the bee at Rachel's house this Sunday; she hasn't had a chance to see it completed yet.
And now, I'll leave you with a final treat from Krystian. Yummo! (As Rachel Ray would say.)

Good to have you back. Love the little scrappy quilt. I like to use continuous curves too.
Nice to have you back in blogging land. I do like your scrapy quilt very nice quilting.
Love it!! And the new techinque - very inspiring! When I don't feel up to stippling, I always default to diagnal stripes. Keep up the good work and maybe one day soon I'll get to see you and the girls! I miss ya'll so much!!! :(
