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

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!
