My longarm group had a "wholecloth challenge" last year, and my greatest inspiration came from images of the Cosmati Pavement in Westminster Abbey. Here's a link:

You can also google images of "cosmatesque architecture" -like this:

I uitlize Lisa Calle's method of designing for the wholecloth - that is, it gets drafted on paper first, including drawing the various fills that I think will work - then go to the longarm and stitch what I just drew.
Here's the resulting wholecloth wallhangings (these are the only two wholecloth quilts I've ever done. Both have been bound since these pics were taken.)

Thanks, whoever you are!
There's enough free patterns to quilt for a lifetime on that site.
