Shadow Quilting?????
I've had many recommend shadow quilting on my newest pieced top but I have no idea how to to this. Could someone please explain? Do you quilt 1/4" out on either side of the seam?

I think it's the same as echo quilting. Quilt along the motif, and then 1/4" outside it, and then another 1/4" outside of that, etc. You could use larger than 1/4", depending on the motif. I've also heard of shadow trapunto, but I don't think that's what was meant. I just looked at the picture of the quilt you're working on, and it's gorgeous.
Here are some pictures of someone doing shadow quilting.
