I am NOT a fan of the all over quilting done now a days.

some sites to check:

Good luck. I mix straight stitch with everything.
Some good sites there - Thankyou.

I sometimes like dense, all-over quilting - depends on the design and purpose. I want this one to retain some softness and squishiness, and for the pictures to be the main feature, so I don't want to cover them with stitching. For a wall-hanging or art quilt, I might go for a denser style.
