I love my quilts densely quilted and I think the FMQ sets off the birds. I think it is really a matter of preference. I like it without the dense quilting, but personally I prefer the heavily quilted version.

Totally adorable little quilt (and I couldn't agree with the sentiment more!)...I think it looks better, more "finished" with the FMQ all over! What a fun little guy to have around!!! I have used osnaburg for a linen look... it is much flatter, thinner, fwiw :)
Hello, I'm visiting from the New Quilt Blogger Hop. I blog at www.quiltingmod.com. Your mini is adorable! That's good to know about linen. I've been tempted a few times, but was nervous to trying using something other that quilting cottons.
Both versions are nice but I think it's great that you did FMQ - I always chicken out! (Those little birds are way too cute!!)
ReplyDeleteThanks, Deb!
