It is depending on the design really. The main point of quilting is to reinforce those seams that would get more wear from the intersecting seams making them stand proud and thus wear quicker. But, I am sure you knew that part. If your gut is telling you that certain areas need more, go for it. The more quilting that is on the quilt the more stiff it becomes, so it is a matter of choice when it comes to that too. If the quilt is one that will see lots of wear, I would do a little more. That is what I like about quilting, the quilt often tells you what it needs and then the creative side says, "Just a little here would look nice".
It is all your choice. But, for me, form follows function just like decorating your house.
