I also would like to see the photos of quilts where people feel the piecing is lost due to heavy quilting. Most dense quilting is background fills to make other areas like applique pop up like trapunto. There have been more quilts lately where the quilting is sometimes in different color threads to make one section different from another.

I love to look at quilts at shows. To be struck by the visual image and walk closer and see more and more. As I get closer I might realize the piecer used a larger variety of prints, or put a rabbit in amongst the scene either with fabric or quilting etc.

I am not trying to be argumentative but are some people feeling the quilting overwhelms the quilt because the quilting is strong and visible? Do you feel it is competing with the design - that the quilting demands to be looked at and doesn't just disappear like stitch in the ditch?
