I agree. I did not like the quilt on the cover of one of the recent quilt catalogs (Keepsakes?) but when I saw the quilt displayed inside with much less quilting, I thought it was beautiful. I think right now LAQ are still in the "let's see what can be done" mode. I sincerely doubt that it will become the "norm" of LAQ --too time consuming, too expensive, etc. etc. Just my thoughts.
