I agree. If you go to Pinterest and look at GW quilting it appears most have used a fairly dense all over design, like meander, straight line stitching or cross hatch.

Here are some blogs with pics that I followed from links on pinterest

On this blog it is half way down the page. If you hit "CTRL" and "F" at the same time on your keyboard you get a search window and type in gypsy and the page should scroll right to it. This pic is just a simple cross hatch grid

Here is a link to one pic on pinterest that has elaborate custom quilting on it. While it looks nice, I am thinking you could get very much the same effect with just straight vertical line quilting

I know this is a computer driven pattern done on a LA but it gives you a good idea of what just plain vertical line quilting will look like. If you make them a little wavy as you quilt you can come close to replicating the appearance of this quilt:

Horizontal quilting lines done organically and wavy
