Now we seem to be in a fashion of flatter, 100% cotton closely quilted, as you stated.
But I say, make whatever makes you happy and there are many great quilts made both ways!

I agree Jan, make what makes you happy. I like a medium loft batting and one that will let you go out as far as 4-5 inches between stitched. If I am doing art quilts I like to let the quilt beside how much it needs. I do leaves realistically and flowers as well. Usually the flatness is caused by the thread play method.
