Very well put. I also think if some one quilts a quilt for another person, long arm quilter, they should try and keep the piecing forefront unless the person who pieced the quilt wants a lot of quilting. Definitely keep the purpose of the quilt in mind. It reminds me of two beautiful quilts made by a grand mother for her grand daughters, the quilts were quilted by a long arm quilter and the work was gorgeous but the quilts ende dup stiff and heavy. They lost their snuggle factor and had turned into beaufiul wall hangings.
