I have posted some pictures of how I hand quilt a few months ago, you can find it here:

Maybe that helps...

It think it is impossible to write a tutorial of how I design a quilt. There are no rules! A quilt top of a solid fabric is like a playground for me or comparable to the canvas for a painter. Everything is possible. I am a person who loves balance, simplicity, repeat and order in my designs and of course you can see it here. But to write down a step-by-step-instruction of how to create a almost perfect quilt design seems impossible to me. So sorry...

The batting I use here is Hobbs Heirloom 80/20. I really like it because it's easy to needle while quilting and has a very nice drape with a quite traditional look.
The patterns are marked with a darning needle, just "scratched" in. You find some further information here:

The backing is pretty flower print. I will take some pictures and post them later.

GORGEOUS! I have yet to try my hand at a wholecloth quilt, but have always wanted to do one. I don't think I'm brave enough to design my own. You are doing a fabulous job and your quilt is beautiful.
