I agree. However, I have looked at several quilts that have edge to edge quilting and think how much better they would have looked if there was a little more definition around the blocks, or a motif in the larger spaces. I can see how edge to edge really is less time-consuming and expensive, especially for a quilt that is going to be used a lot. When someone puts so much work into piecing, quilting should be a compliment to the piecing, not a detracter.
