I think my quilts must be inbetween with the quilting. I don't like heavy quilting bc I want my piecing to shine. But I also don't want my quilts to fall apart after a few washings. I've seen quilts with so much fancy quilting that you lose the nicely pieced pattern. But in the end it's like the old saying "Beauty is in the eye of the beholder" I don't intend my quilts to be judged. My DD went with me to the Expo and after looking at all the quilts she wanted to know why I don't enter my quilts. I took that as a wonderful compliment from her.
