Wholecloths are so lovely. I have seen full-sized quilts that were done in the late 1700s or early 1800s and they are still stunning over 200 years later. As for a wallquilt, these are perfect. You can hang them, take them down and shake them, and hang them back up. When they get dirty you can wash them carefully in the bathroom sink.

Quilter 1234, tell us about your progress. Your successes are also ours. We are all in this together.

I just use the little one that looks like a miniature jar opener, thin rubber and cheap and they work great! I have a quilting stencil for a whole cloth, hope to start it this winter and do it in panels. :D The stencil is beautiful!

quilter 1234, please keep us posted, want to see pictures when you get to it!
