I have made one wholecloth baby quilt and I did it with shadow trapunto. I really love it. I bought the top on sale at an amish auction for $5. I also bought another top the same size, but not a baby design that was marked by amish women. I also have a full size wholecloth top that I bought in an amish quilt shop that was about half the price of others that I've seen but is not as detailed as some. Then I have a throw size "kit" that I bought that is very detailed. I'm anxious to quilt these, but they're not at the top of my to do list. I used to quilt in a hoop on a stand, or a smaller hoop in my lap, but most of the time now, I quilt without a hoop, just on my lap. It takes some practice to keep the back smooth, and it takes a lot of pins, but I like not having that big hoop that gets in the way of the TV! LOL
