Real echo lines are simply impossible to do and I can get the first line okay but keeping the next ones evenly spaced is maddening. Looks just like McTavishing to me.<br/><br/>I do love the leaf thing you do in the sashing and will have to try that with the next quilt! I do a alternating loop de loop but the leaves are great!!

Just wanted to let you know of a mini-quilt swap I am hosting. We'd love to have you if you are interested. The details are given at the blog link below. If it happens that you are not interested, I'd still appreciate if you could spread the word in the event some of your blog's readers might like to participate.

It looks perfect to me. I love the leaves in the sashing. The slight little imperfections is what makes them a unique piece of "handmade" art instead of factory, machine, mass produced sameness. Keep going, when it is finished it will be gorgeous. Remember this is a one of a kind piece of art. It looks perfect to me. I love the leaves in the sashing.

It looks just like McTavishing echo quilting to me, and she and all her followers win TONS of awards! I did read your later post and I think you're right--sometimes you just need to walk away for a bit and see it with a fresh eye. Want to practice on some of my quilts? I'd be happy to not pay you too! LOL! What’s wrong with it? It looks just like McTavishing echo quilting to me, and she and all her followers win TONS of awards!

Your echo quilting is fine! A very famous quilter once said that, "If you can't notice it from the back of a galloping horse, it is fine". I remember than when I am hard on myself. If you look at what the big name pros do, you will find perfections. That is why this is what gives quilts their character--it is that homemade look, the imperfections just give a quilt personality!
