Okay, what some of us are doing is called 'outline' quilting. Found this, on the web -
"A line of quilting that is stitched a uniform distance away from a fabric patch, applique piece or quilting motif. If you stopped with the first line of stitching, it is called outline quilting.
If you continue by stitching another line a uniform distance away from the first, you are now echo quilting. "

Thank you, thank you. This is all new to me. But why do echo quilting? Why would one want to quilt two lines so close to each other? Probably a stupid question but I know one of you will have a super answer

Marsh, I echo stitch to make a feature in the quilt stand out like the appliqued flowers in my daughter's b'day quilt. I have a Warm Wishes on my design wall that may get the roses in the feature fabric echo stitched.
