I am beginning to echo stitch around the appliques on the Morningstar quilt. It's not hard, just take a little time and some maneuvering the bulk of the quilt. I have more corner block to go. Then I have to figure out how I will fill in the rest of the "empty" space on those black and applique blocks.
I'm thinking maybe 1 more echo and then onto swirls and whatever I can fit into the spaces ... That is something I should practice on the iPad, first ...
I am using a variegated blue thread to do the outlining. I shows up nicely on the black, but doesn't detract from the bright applique flowers and vines.
I finished up the quilting on the giant center star a few weeks ago. It's hard to photograph, or you'd see it here ... After that, I stitched the edges of the black border squares to hold them in place while I did the free-motion quilting around the applique flowers and vines.
Next step was to decide what color threads to use on that black background. Maroon? Blue? Something completely different?
