    Default How much quilting? question.

    [ATTACH=CONFIG]535396[/ATTACH]

    This is a baby quilt and will have a Prairie Point border. Because of the Dream Orient batting the "less" would be adequate and I didn't want a too buy look. Now that I've auditioned the "more" look it's growing on me. As you may be able to see off the plastic wrap, the quilting is/will be done with aqua thread.

    Value your opinions! Thanks!

    I like the look of the pattern and it is enough quilting for a baby quilt.

    I always prefer less to heavier quilting which tends to make a quilt stiff, so I prefer the "left less" side.

    Maybe I didn't explain it properly!! What I wanted to know is WHICH do you like better? More quilting or Less quilting? Sorry for the confusion and thanks for looking! Please try again!

    I like both. But since you said it's a baby quilt I might go for less.
    Either way it will look good.

    Hello Kitsie, Lovely quilt. I like the 'more' version. Have you gone firm on the aqua quilting? I would quilt with the background colour to allow the lovely piecing and colours to take centre stage.

    Thanks, Easy. It is a crib size, so that was my thought too. Blocks are about 10". Still don't know!
