That's not even remotely close to "quilted to death."

Quilted to near-death experience?

I think a curlicue like you used is very busy, where a gentle wave might have worked better. But the quilt is very lovely, and I think once it's finished, you'll be pleased.

I'm still new to quilting, and I haven't figured out how to plan a quilting pattern. I have trouble with this on every quilt I've touched. I totally understand why people stick with S-I-D and I admire quilters who enhance the top instead of smothering it!

Beautiful quilt.......but I have to agree with you. Maybe after the marking is gone it won't be bad at all....like I said...beautiful quilt...and applique!

I think it is beautiful. It is probably the markings that make you displeased. I'm sure it will be just wonderful.

Would you share which invisible thread you are using for quilting? Thank you.
