I think you are right about the quilts being stiffer; however I don't think it's because of the joining, but the over-quilting. After viewing the dvd last night, the 'theme' seemed that since you can quilt each block individually, you can use the embroidery feature of your machine to quilt with intricate patterns. It seemed over-quilted to me, and she quilted the joining strips. Her quilts are beautiful though.
I'll take your advice and try a smaller version.
Thanks!

You might also try using a thinner batting to lessen thickness/stiffness.
