Hawaiian breadfruit applique pillow completed
I posted pictures of the wip yesterday of this and today its completed...i started this wed...picked out a few rows of stitches yesterday, completed the quilting last night, made the piping today and completed the pillow this afternoon...not so bad considering i have 6 young kids keeping me busy all the time . The third picture is of the back of the block to show the quilting before i put the pillow together

Wow, it's beautiful.
And the back fabric is terrific - what a colorful design!
So that's 1/2" spacing on the echo quilting, right?
I didn't know that was a rule or guideline.
If I ever do hand quilting, I just saved myself a LOT of stitching
I thought it was going to look very sparse after you said you were pulling some of the stitches out,
but it still looks really dense (my preference) to me.
Good to know.
Lesson learned.
Thanks!
