I think the best word to use is 'echo', in the sense that the second line echoes the first. Now divide the spaces again. This might be triangles in the borders, large leaf patterns or more circles in the center medallion and then I mark the echo or double line again, depending on how I want to patterns to stand out in the design. The double lines make the patterns and dividing lines stand out. Taking the double lines away allows the quilt patterns to blend together into a more subtle design. I'll add more on this later.marjoriehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07908431813416366495noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3505010905906043136.post-4125373716259562412013-05-30T18:13:12.871-07:002013-05-30T18:13:12.871-07:00The Handbook may still be available through Amazon...The Handbook may still be available through Amazon.com here in the States but I'm not sure because I no longer sell it myself. It is available through the Jen Jones Welsh Quilt Centre in Wales and comes up quite easily in a web search. The proceeds of the books sold in Wales go to support the Quilt Centre but the postage is more, depending on where you are. I'll do a short post on the Handbook to give you an idea of what it is. marjoriehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07908431813416366495noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3505010905906043136.post-85133528393165997152013-05-28T19:01:05.689-07:002013-05-28T19:01:05.689-07:00What a lovely border!

It looks like you section off the major areas with the double line quilting first then work out how to fill them?
