The goal is to have the quilting match the quilt, to have it complement the top. Too much quilting is just as bad as a beautifully pieced, intricate top that has been tied with yarn. (You don't want to get me started!!)

I love your quilting. You add just the right amount and make each design, work with the quilt pattern. Good work
