Quilting Notes/Techniques

Quilting design based off my own drawing. Machine quilted with Gutterman cotton 50wt thread in matching colors. Used pre-washed homespun and cotton batting, but still got quite a bit of shrinkage after washing. Stippling was too big to contrast with the rest of the design. Still like it though and put it up  for Halloween.
