Haha! That sounds like me! I plan on some simple stuff, but just get carried away! I always think, "I'll just do some lines (or loops, or swirls, or whatever) and can always go back in and quilt more if it's needed", but it's never needed!

LOL. That is exactly how I feel about my most recent quilt. I like light quilting - no closer than about 1" together. But the 2 times I've used a stencil and tried to do complicated free motion quilting in each block, I've ended up "quilted to death". I love the look of both, but they aren't as cuddly as I would have liked them to be. Especially the latest - starburst pattern on batik closely quilted (1/4" apart), made for a really stiff quilt. I'm hoping a washing will soften it some.
