Here is a pic of the hand quilting I am doing for the Airplane Quilt. I just wanted to check with you folks to see if I am doing this good enough. My aunt who taught me to do it is 85, and it looks like she isn't going to be able to travel to see my work anymore.

I'm averaging about 5-7 stitches per inch, and I am not sure if that is close enough, or if my stitches are even enough. I am doing better on this one than my first quilt, though.

These blocks are 4" square, if that gives you a clue as to the size.

I have some pictures of old quilting, and it looks a lot closer together, tinier, than mine. Am I just imagining things?

We are entering into our busiest season at my work, and I can't go to the LQS right now, and I can't get this into my car anyway. I've got it in my frame. Any advice would be most appreciated.
