    The pillow is absolutely stunning! I love Hawaiian applique and hope to give it a try in the very near future.

    I thought it is suppose to be the width of your pinkie finger apart! That is what Nancy Lee Chong teaches.You did a beautiful pillow and your quilting is great whatever the width!!!!

    So that's 1/2" spacing on the echo quilting, right?

    I didn't know that was a rule or guideline.
    If I ever do hand quilting, I just saved myself a LOT of stitching
    I thought it was going to look very sparse after you said you were pulling some of the stitches out,
    but it still looks really dense (my preference) to me.
    Good to know.
    Lesson learned.
    Thanks!
