I do like the feathers but anything can be overdone. Like a lot of you, I prefer the spaced quilting so I can actually see the fabric, but I do like the feathers too. I guess that is why we all get to select what we want for our individual quilts..

My only comment on this now is I am a happy feather lover.

By the way, I love the feathers, just not on everything and not so much when they distract from the pattern. lol Have a great day!! :D

I think feathers have been overdone and I don't care for dense quilting.
Those are my opinions and I will express them when a topic like this comes up.
Feel free to express your own opinions on the subject.
I am not here to offend anybody and so I find it very tiring when people who don't agree with my opinions get offended when I express mine. They act like I said mine just to hurt them or I'm not as "learned" as they are because we hold different opinions.
You are allowed to express your opinion as long as you don't attack me for mine in the process.
Thank you. :)

I agree. If I spend hours and hours planning, cut and piecing a quilt, I would like to see the actual design enhanced. Feathering really does distract. Yes, feathering is very beautiful and requires great skill, but minimal is better IMHO. That is unless it is specifically requested by the owner of the quilt. :thumbup:

I think it's OK to express your opinion. Yes it begins a conversation and hopefully no offense is taken on anyone's part. I like the way Selena said it "I think there are so many strong opinions because quilters are passionate people." Also conversations like this helps us to share ideas with people of like mind. It's all good! :lol: :thumbup:

I love the feathers, but I'm with the "not to dense" crowd. I like a quilt to be soft and flexible. Now a quilt that is strictly made for show is a horse of a different color. They are ususally not used to cuddle in and in that case dense quilting is fine.

Let's not argue -- I enjoy the Board simply because there are so many different types of quilters and just as many opinions. Be Nice please.

I don't make any apologies for being passionate about quilting or checking my facts before posting... :-)
And personally I find the trad quilters more 'rebellious' than the art quilters - we mostly started in the traditional and have developed into the art so can see the beauty in both.
PS I just checked out your blog and your FMQ is beautiful - feathers and all. :D
