Thank you Feline Fanatic. You have given me a lot to think about. I think whole cloth quilts are beautiful. I am also interested in trapunto. Years ago, when I was pregnant with my first child, I purchased a instruction booklet on how to make baby blankets. (I crochet and knit.) Included in the book was a trapunto whole cloth blanket that was buttercream and I believe that they used nylon tricot to make it. It was just the most beautiful blanket. That was the first time I had ever seen such a quilt. After all these years I am planning on making a whole cloth quilt. I'm interested to hear tips from experienced quilters. Thank you for sharing your knowledge. It was helpful.
