I love the dense quilting. great job!!
This is a quilt from my first quilting class...a Craftsy class called Quilting in Negative Spaces. The pattern was one that was from the class. I learned a different way of doing swirls than what I'm used to doing. Learned a bit about pebbling. And I really liked quilting the tiles that are at the bottom 1/2 of the quilt. But, mainly I learned that I don't like quilting this densely all over the quilt...ha. I will do this in the background of blocks or to make an applique stand out, but my hat is off to those of you who can quilt this densely.

I think it looks FABULOUS. I really like Angela Walters and her style. I have one of her books and have gotten some great tips from it. It is much easier to do this kind of quilting on a LA than a domestic.
BTW for those of you who say dense quilting makes a quilt stiff, it is NOT the quilting but the quilting COMBINED with the batting that does this. Do this kind of quilting with W&N and it does tend to be stiff. Do this kind of quilting with say Quilters Dream cotton or poly or wool or bamboo or silk it has lovely drape.
