This is a question that interests me personally a lot: have you ever heard about about a quilter who only does wholecloth quilts? No patchwork, no appliqué... only wholecloth?
It seems to be a lost species....

Do you make your own patterns? Or do you buy the "stamped" fabric?

For some of my quilts I needed about 600 hours and I made one in 1000 hours. You see, it is very time consuming! :-)

That's about where I guessed it to be. Like I said, I don't think my nephew has any idea what he's asking!
I hand quilt my pieced work, but nowhere near as intricately as what you are doing. It still takes me months to finish a queen quilt by hand.
I admire you for continuing this art.
