charisma, I have been drooling over all of the quilts you have shown with the beautiful quilting on them. I notice that you mentioned that you don't use a pantograph or computer so I am wondering how you keep your pattern (such as the leaves on this quilt) so "regular" and "precise"? They seem to appear to all be exactly the same. And how do you make sure that it fits in on a given border? Do you plan that ahead so you know just how many leaves of a certain size will fit going around the quilt? Wish I were a bug on the wall of your quilting room so I could watch what you do from start to finish. PS: I am sorry if you have answered all of these questions in the past but I am a more recent member and may have missed that.

I don't really plan anything like the leaves or feathers....it is all done freehand..I just adjust as I go so to say...I never know how it will fit before I load the quilt I just adjust them as I go...as far as them being precise well I think that just comes with muscle memory...after you do it enough it comes naturally.
It's OK I don't mind answering questions and I think you asked a few new ones.. :D
