Machine Quilting Density?
Do you have a preference for how much stitching (quilting) your quilts have for a quilt used for covering oneself (bed/couch/lap)?
I think "medium" would be my preference - stitching close enough together so that the layers don't shift and far enough apart so that the quilt can drape/bend.
I consider "art" - for looking at only - quilts to be another category.

Light to medium. My utility quilts (for the couch, for picnic blankets, etc) get as little machine quilting as I can get away with without the layers/batting shifting when washed. For bed quilts I hand quilt up to medium density. Heavy density quilting is not my bag, at all.
