Then I will come to your house and inspect the mini wholecloth sewn with varigated thread. Then I will have to confiscate the quilt. It will need to be held at my house for the rest of its life, as evidence of course.

Hugs, Gail

Awesome!!

An alternative to muslin is Ecology Cloth. It is the same with good construction. It has the appearance of muslin but without the blown flakes in it. Back in the 70's it was the prefered muslin type fabric and is still used especially for reproduction type designs. It works up well.

If you like it, don't worry about what anyone else thinks!! You will always have some who criticize but hey, its NOT their quilt, so ignore them. I fired the quilt police a long time ago and do my own thing. Sometimes what I do works and sometimes it doesn't, but hey it is MINE.

Have this friend that couldn't see doing a whole cloth without color. They are beautiful when she finishes, and beauty is in the eye of the beholder.

I just took a hand quilting class and she had us buy those pre-marked mini wholecloths. I was terrified, but she said we "Had" to iron it...from the backside only. The package says to iron from the backside..but I gotta tell ya'...when I'm done if those marks don't wash out I am going to be hopping mad!!!

There were lots in the class working with varigated thread. It looked really pretty...so do whatever you want.
