Would that be hand or machine quilting?
But you are right, could look pretty, especially the mug’s pattern. The other one might end up in a blanket that suffered ‘death by quilting’… an awful lot of lines.
Nice mug.

lol @ death by quilting. i’m quite a fan of dense quilting, tbh, i much prefer it to the opposite extreme, where everything looks limp and unfinished. i’m mulling over quilting designs for a (potential) top with large single-colour areas - a situation where i thought something dense and textural might work well.

and i’m thinking machine quilting, so barely ahead of myself at all. after all i may not have done any free motion machine quilting but i’ve read a whole book on it so i’m half way there, right?

Free motion quilting is such an exciting experience… every move has got a consequence stitched down onto your piece of work and it’s going ahead, ahead, ahead…. huh, I once tried it and felt quite nervous. Should I read about it before the next attempt?!
I, too, don’t like the very sparse quilting, prefer the grip of a good quilting. The mug’s pattern would work well for machine quilting, you can actually do it in one line, small as well as larger scaled.
