Still Behind, but Working Right Along

I love WIP and QAL Wednesdays because they push me to keep quilting. I don't always get everything done, but my goal is to have something to talk about on Wednesdays.

This week, I did get some more done on my wonky/improv quilt that I'm making for Leah Day's QAL Wednesday project. I finished the front and back of the quilt, but I when to get batting from my batting supply and realized I didn't have what I needed. And I didn't have a chance to get to the store for more.

Front

Back

So I switched over to start quilting on a quilt that basted eons ago, my Expanding Possibilities quilt.

 I've stitched in the ditch across the major sections. Now the question is how to quilt it?

Large white areas

Center section surrounded with dimensional flying geese.

The chevron sections.

So my question for Leah this week is about balancing stitch density across my Expanding Possibilities quilt.  In the white areas of this quilt I would like to stitch a somewhat dense design.

This was my Sew Cal Gal FMQ Challenge for April - and practice piece for this quilt.

For the center section (squiggly lines part) I would quilt something a little less dense and then on the chevron section and around the flying geese just stitch in the ditch. 


So the quilting would alternate dense, loose, dense sections, etc. across the quilt. Will that work or should I aim to quilt the same density on the whole thing? (I hope these makes sense :O  )

Since these two projects are all I worked on this week, my stats are:

In-process: (8)
