I have a whole cloth quilt that I bought the top at a quilt show. It is a whole pieceof fabric with all the quilting marks on it. All I had to do was get backing (I used a cheap sheet, because it was smaller thread count) and batting and quilt it by hand. I call it my masterpiece, and told my family to put it on my casket rather than flowers. I wouldn't call anything that I had to piece a whole cloth quilt.
