I have been working on my Echo quilt for about 6th months now. It is a really easy pattern but I made it hard on myself by working with yardage, fat quarters and jelly rolls! This made the math really complicated to figure out how many blocks of each color I could make. I think I finally figured out I have 34 white bordered blocks and 46 patterned bordered blocks left to peice. So I am half way done piecing blocks!! Well sort of, that isn't counting the 23 blocks I have started and need to finish... :)
My goal is to concentrate on my cutting for now so I can do some assemble line style sewing later.
Here is my progress thus far!
From this...
To this!...
Windham Fabric Lotta Jansdotter's Echo
Robert Kaufman Kona white jelly rolls
A few coordinating solids
How do you think I should quilt this pattern? Let me know in the comments!

this is a great quilt pattern to show off the lovely echo fabrics! although i have to say that it does leave me wishing that kleenex boxes were designed by lotta jansdotter... if you're looking for a simple quilting design, i'd go with fairly narrowly spaced (but not necessarily evenly spaced) vertical lines. if you wanted something a little more complicated, some sort of repeating pattern in all the white space would be interesting!
