It depends how you want you quilt to look. Do you want your fabric to show then you do a limited quilting SID or somethign that shows the fabric. If you want the quilt design to take over you then do an amazing design. Look at Charismas quilts she does she chooses based on what the quilt looks like does she want the piecing to come through? For my avatar I am going to quilt the blue heavily and then lightly quilt the colored parts to show off the design.
