    I would echo first..then decide if you even need to cross hatch the background!

    I dont know what cross hatch is... but I am looking it up right after I type this! :)

    I did see that when i went searching... but to do it in the background where the deer are, how do you stop? That is probably a goofy question.. but I just cant see it in my head.

    Yes, I would echo all three of them.
    If you do echo quilting, you wouldn't need to cross hatch in the middle area, teh echo would be enough. You could still cross hatch in the outer border though if you like the look of it.

    This is very beautiful. I would love a gift like this. I am not good at FMQ yet so cannot give you advice. There is alot of talent on the board so they will all help you for sure.

    Your work is awesome. I love what you have done. However, I know nothing about quilting the finished product.

    I agree it would make it stand out and look real
