Echo Quilting

I just love the drama echo quilting creates around applique. This fall leaf is a perfect example. The applique leaf block was created by Serena Brown and given to me in a quilt guild block exchange.

 Have you ever wondered if you were using the right batting for a project? I know I have on many projects.

So, I decided to make some batt samples, test and compare several Quilters Dream Battings.

Six different batts were quilted in three quilting densities.

When done, the samples were made into a three ring book
