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.

See more photos and the fall table runner I made with block on my official website http://livingwaterquilter.com
