Thank you for all your compliments! A couple of you asked to see the quilting detail, so here it is.

I quilt with a Handi Quilter Avante and had just purchased the echo feet. These add additional spacing (an echo) when used with a template or along a seam. I wanted to do a scallop on the piano key, so thought it would be a good place to try. I used a swag template with my regular foot, across the whole length of the border. I changed the foot then did another pass. I need some practice because unless you position the template exactly as you did the first time, you get some variation in the echo. I freehanded the filler feather so some have 3 plumes on one side & 4 on the other. As they say, this adds interest :-). Then I SITD the piano keys from the outside edge until I hit the scallop.

Love that border! And it really compliments the circular designs formed by the quilting in the main body of the quilt.

Thanks so much for posting the closeup. Getting an echo with templates is indeed hard, even with a foot that works! But the effect is so worth it. And while we stress over those areas where the echo isn't the same or the freehand fill is just a little bit different, most of the time once the quilt is off the rack I have trouble finding those spots.

I take pride in my hand guided work and try to embrace the imperfections and variations that a computer guided set up won't do. You should too, the result is lovely!
