I would love to see the finished project. Sounds kind of neat. Does anyone have any quilts done with one color?

Tashana, try shabby chic or cottage colors for your mother. Soft pinks and blues or corals and tans if that's her preference. As a mother whose tastes are changing, I think that might do it for her. Look at the colors in vivnme's avatar.

The more I think about it the more I think that's a really cool idea. I could see doing the all white quilt and then using a colorful bed runner at the end of the bed....the best of both worlds! I'm curious to know where you find quality white fabric. I can find white fabric but, even at a quilt shop it doesn't seem to be as tightly woven as the other fabrics. Is there a particular company that all of you out there use?

We had to buy (no time or desire to make) an all white one when we sold our home 2 years ago. So got one from the "Shabby Chic" line at Target for about $50 for queen size. It's solid white with lots of quilting on one piece of fabric. We use it in the guest room now and it's a good background for my handmade quilts.

All quilts can be beautiful. muted colors or no colors as you say too. She did well I"m sure.

I quilted an all white whole cloth quilt for my daughter for her wedding and it came out beautiful & I am very proud of it as there is a lot of quilting in whole cloth quilts. This was done at the beginning of my quilting career (aka hobby) & I had no idea how she was going to decorate and the quilt is always out, sometimes folded and on display and sometimes on her bed.

Does the white have a tone on tone design?

Sounds different. Please try to get a picture of it, I'd love to see how it looks.

I've never thought about using all white, but I'll bet it is really pretty! It wouldn't be too practical around here with 4 doggies, but I sure would love to see it.
