Is this the one that is supposed to duplicate a church window? I really like your cables but not in this place. If you want something in those spaces, maybe a cross-hatch that would be more like something you would see in a church window?

Yes I thought this also. How about a little echo quilting to fill it in.

I too thought that the cable was too narrow for the space, but then also thought that if the straight-line quilting were done on the vertical lines on each side, that would balance it out nicely.

I think I would put a straight line on each side of the cable and that way it would fill the space. I like the cable in that space. It just needs a little tweak. Ha!

The cable adds a very nice touch to your beautiful quilt! Good choice!!

I like the "echo" idea to fill the spaces a little more completely! Good thought.

I think the cables add another dimension to a mostly geometric quilt. Like the result.

what is an "echo"? Besides being reverb in an amplifier for an electric guitar, is just repeating the pattern block?
