    I like the soft cuddly quilts also. I like the look quilting gives but sometimes quilting every inch takes away from the piecing.

    ooooohhh...wrong...I have seen some that are so quilted they become see-thru...Irena Bluhm had some beautiful quilts in a local show this year..but you could see through them all they were quilted so much...and STIFF as boards...

    I am not fond of all that quilting...it LOOKS great...but that is about it...it is like a thread painting..not a QUILT you can snuggle with!

    For me personally, I like to sleep under a warm, fluffy quilt. But sometimes I want a quilt on the bed that is just for looks. For beauty only, not to sleep under, not for Checotah (Great Dane) to sleep on, purely for the look of the quilt.

    My Fall throw I just finished is heavily quilted with a leaf stipple pattern and I wish I wouldn't have done that now. It looks really pretty but it's stiff and doesn't "cuddle" well at all. Won't make that mistake again! Less quilting for me next time.
