This seems to be a popular topic as there was a lengthy discussion on this just a couple weeks ago. There's room in quilt-land for every type of quilt: tied, hand quilted, machine quilted, heavily quilted, edge to edge, custom etc. Pick the one you like for your quilts and I'll pick the one I want for mine. Neither is 'right or wrong' or 'good or bad'. remember, a beautiful quilt is in the eye of the beholder!
