My thought while doing this small stitching is "one-eighth inch spacing". That helps me keep the size of the open areas consistent. The center is done now. On to the border design area! I'll post that when it is done. Thanks for visiting my blog!

Your close meandering quilting really makes the tin tile print AND the flamingo stand out. Thanks for the tip about the 1/8" stitching to keep the meandering equally spaced. This is a beautiful quilt. Can't wait to see how you treat the border.
