So, at the risk of being shunned...
Your quilts are beautiful! :)
On many old quilts, the stitching was only used to hold the sandwich together and not follow the design.
Take the example of the Baptist Fan design or crosshatching.
In this quilt, I did with hand-quilted Baptist Fans which had nothing to do with the quilt pattern...it was merely a way to hold the sandwich together...but I liked the effect of letting the quilt pattern show through and the hand quilting fade into the background.
