I read a machine quilting book once that catagorized quilts. There are the ones that you quilt lightly for "dragger" quilts that are drug around everywhere. Then there is a moderately quilted quilt for gifts and special type quilts. And then there is the quilts meant for shows that are quilted to the "OMG!!" state.
I love the quilting I have seen here that has taken quilting to an art and I ever so wish I could do that. LOL!
