Everyone has the right to have their quilts quilted or quilt them as they feel they should be.
I prefer an all over meandering for my quilts. My quilt my way. I love quilting, all of it and I only try to please myself.
I'm sure others feel the same way. I don't go to quilt shows, so I can't speak to any of those. I'm sure the quilters are very pleased with their quilts, as it should be.
