It is very pretty! I have seen quilting done that way on purpose. I thought that is what you were going for.
I had some double stitching in a quilt I made, although my lines were stitched closer. Someone told me to wash it before I made the "big decision". It was harder to see after washing, so I left it.

The pattern is Hip to (Not) Be Square from Living Large 2; Heather Peterson of Anka's Treasures. It looks deceptively easy, all straight line sewing, right? A few of my 1" black lines didn't quite match up. The one I carefully unsewed and resewed after partially SID was actually upside down. I am more afraid of doing more damage trying to remove the double and triple quilting stitches but I have learned a lot about quilting in the hoop. It's very time consuming. I could have had the entire quilt FMQ'd by now!

I don't think I would rip it out. What I think I would do from here on out though, is put your machine in the center of a large enough table so that you could puddle the quilt all the way around the machine. That may help with the shadowing. Beautiful quilt and great choice of quilting design.

Remember when we look at out stitching, it's from a couple of inches away, others admire our quilts on a bed, sofa etc and stand back and admire and don't notice the tiny imperfections that we see close up. It's beautiful and I'm sure your friend will love it, because you made it. It only needs to be perfect if entering in a quilt show when every stitch will be inspected.
