Now remember I hand Quilt! Just not sure what I should do. Thought about Echo Quilting, but thought you guys might have some better ideas, what do you think?

First - - WOW, I love your quilt!!! Is is all applique? Great work!

The echo quilt sound good to me. Are you meaning just around the flower and leaves? OR would you do multiple echos to the next flower?

IMHO - A single echo then .... hmmm ... something in the open space.... hmmm..............darn nothing is coming to me.

Maybe someone can help here????

I don't have any ideas for quilting but just wanted to say that is beautiful! I admire anyone that can applique. I just end up frustrated. LOL I might try some fusible the next time I want to try.

I hand quilt too. But I have no ideas. Try looking up in some books that have applique in them you will sure find something there. And you quilt is beautiful; good job :thumbup: :thumbup: :thumbup:

I vote for outline on the flowers and a leafy vine in the sashings. I hand quilt too most of the time and it takes me a looong time to finish a project. I love the look of machine quilting too, I'm just not good at it and can't afford to have it done on all of my quilts.

Melissa-Your quilt is gorgeous!!! How long did it take you to make it? I wish I could help you out with a quilting design-this is why so many of my quilt tops just sit-I cannot ever decide how to quilt them. I would probably do an echo (one time) around the flowers and then do a viney, leafy, something in the open areas. Please show us the quilt again when you finish it.

Not a handquilter either so I have no ideas there, but I did want to say that is one GORGEOUS quilt! Is the applique done by hand as well?

This one did take a while but only because I had other things going and getting sidetracked and all the usuall excuses! It is fusible but I did hand blanket stitch on them, I did it for a take along project and so I could set and watch tv with dh. I had the blocks done FOREVER then finally got them put together a week or so ago.
