I'm for the less.....it will be gorgeous either way but less is my preference for baby quilt.
By the way, I really like this top and quilt design!

The more is my choice. It does not look like it would affect the drape and coziness!

I also like the more quilting option. It's still not so much quilting that I'd call it heavily quilted. Do you quilt right through the plastic wrap? Do you have trouble getting the pieces of wrap off the quilt? I've tried Glad Press and seal, an am never really thrilled with the result.

The less - on the left. It will be more snuggly.

Late to the party, but I think you made the better decision going with the "more". Looking forward to the finish. I've been wanting to try prairie points on a small project.

I know you decided on "more" - I think that's best. I like to quilt my baby quilts more than my "grown up" quilts because I assume they'll be washed at least twice as often.

Lovely quilt, I hope you'll post again when it's finished!

Kris P, I just lay a piece of plastic wrap on to the top and draw (NOT with a permanent marker!) designs that I might like to to do - audition them. It does not stick. Before settling on that one, I tried the look of cross hatch, SID and a couple of other designs. The wrap is changed for trying each design. It's a very useful idea. The wrap is not left on the top for sewing.

It's also handy to take pictures and print them out to look at them side-by-side for a while if the decision is a tough one.
Then I make a template, draw the shapes lightly with pencil and ta da, let's sew!

I like the more version. I don't think it will make the quilt too stiff, and I think it pulls the quilting together. JMHO Very pretty quilt by the way.

I like the quilting on the right. It leaves less unquilted areas. Very cute pattern!

Manalto

Since you're using a contrasting color, I'd say do the denser quilting because it adds another layer of interest. It doesn't look so close that it will stiffen the quilt.
