Haha! This is exactly what I thought when I read that comment. Lately I've been doing all over meandering because it's faster so I can get things done and move on. I love piecing, so that is the focus of my time and my finished quilts, but i do appreciate the skill and time that goes into more intricate quilting, including feathers.

I recently finished an Omigosh quilt (9,911 pieces) and took it to a longarm quilter who did a beautiful job. She thought about feathers in the border but did something simpler because she wanted to show off the piecing. I think those who look at the quilt carefully often give it their best design.

IMHO, the quilting should enhance the quilt. Any type of quilting can be overused. The quilting also should coincide with the owner's budget & tastes.
It can be difficult to get all components aligned.

I doubt I will ever get tired of seeing beautiful feathers that compliment the piecing.
