It all depends what you prefer. I have seen some quilts that were so quilted they were actually hard and could slip off the bed. LOL I am a fluffy person.

It looks very pretty. Is it a wall hanging then you can't over quilt if not and you find it a bit stiff wash frequently and use. It will soften up.

I think it is very pretty. However, i do think there can be too much quilting. I have seen some here that it was difficult to discern the pattern because the quilting obscured it. Each person has to decide for themselves what they like. Your's is lovely.
