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.

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.
