The quilt stitching is done in a continuous randomly curving line, not crossing itself, but closely covering the area. This creates a relatively flat, stiff area on the quilt. The center and border of the winter tree illustrations are stippled by machine. The border on "Do You Know Green?" was stippled by hand to correspond with the great amount of quilting in the picture. The illustration would not lie flat otherwise.
