It’s a great fill for dense quilting. Show quilts are, typically, really dense quilting, I have found. I like it on some quilts but not on all quilts. I did dense FMQ on my domestic for one large quilt. Took forever… lol..

Everyone, I finished my wall hanging and sent Rhonda my info.
I went with red/white/blue theme. I had some leftover batik tumbling blocks cut for another quilt, so I used them for my center. Surrounded by a white strip with red and blue stars. The a checker board border. Total size is 27 and a half inches square. Wish I could post a pic for you but I hope the descriptions works. I also tried some of my ruler work quilting. Not fancy and a little messed up in spots, but I think it looks good. Hope everyone will like it.

Skaduzy, those do look like little pieces, but so pretty. Sewbizgirl, I am sure whatever you come up with will be delightful.
I can't believe I am in this group of awesome quilters. Thanks for letting me join all those years ago.

The show quilts I saw in Paducah were, of course, quilted into cardboard! But I saw lots of ideas for background fills, without quilting nearly that dense. Lots of people used swirls of different sizes, and believe it or not, stipple! Stipple has made it to the big time, ha ha!
When your background is looking "baggy", it needs some filler. I'll have fun putting some more quilting on it.
