Lots of good ideas... just very scared to start it and ruin the top. :-/

If you do echo quilting, you wouldn't need to cross hatch in the middle area, teh echo would be enough. You could still cross hatch in the outer border though if you like the look of it. |
This is very beautiful. I would love a gift like this. I am not good at FMQ yet so cannot give you advice. There is alot of talent on the board so they will all help you for sure.

Your work is awesome. I love what you have done. However, I know nothing about quilting the finished product.

I agree it would make it stand out and look real |
