Excellent quilt; I love the whole cloth and that you made it white work as well was awesome.

I was planning on doing a smaller whole cloth quilt to improve my hand stitching. Reading the book “The Amish Quilt” I was surprised to find that some of their communities still refuse to piece, viewing it as elaborate (yeah, and what about the quilting!). Anyway I’ve fallen in love with their quilts, and after looking at the ones I like I think I’ve settled on a bar quilt, or possibly diamond in a square rather than a whole cloth, though I do still admire them greatly.

The biggest reason I’ve decided on a bar quilt was I want to design my own quilting pattern and the whole cloth seems like it would be a much more complex thing to do. But with yours as inspiration, I suppose I’ll eventually just have to do both now huh?
