Okay, what some of us are doing is called 'outline' quilting. Found this, on the web -
"A line of quilting that is stitched a uniform distance away from a fabric patch, applique piece or quilting motif. If you stopped with the first line of stitching, it is called outline quilting.
If you continue by stitching another line a uniform distance away from the first, you are now echo quilting. "
