Getting Up Close with My Quilting - Whimsical Quilting

Whimsical quilting is just for fun!  On this baby quilt I stitched three wavy lines in the border with swirls in the corners.  Then I added a row of bubbles on the thin border and a wiggle line cross hatching in the blue/green checked section.  


Swirls in the swirly fabric and angled uneven cross hatching in the green section.






Wavy waves in the blue strip.






Here's a full view of the quilt before I embroidery stitched the binding.
A close up of the wavy lines in the borders and swirly corners.


This photo shows an up close view of the embroidery stitched binding.






This is a whimsical and creative way to quilt a baby quilt.

    Beautiful! As a beginner at FMQ I am in awe! Can I ask what kind if batting you use? This looks so soft and fluffy, and mine seem flatter!
