I started hand quilting this whole cloth quilt on Nov. 22, 2010. Yesterday I reached the middle of the center medallion, so that means I am HALF-WAY done! :)

The quilt top was purchased pre-printed, but I added extra pencil markings to it to make it bigger on the sides and added more quilting lines in the main body of it. Once washed, the blue lines will disappear.

WOW! Very nice job!

WOW, what a beauty, well worth the (huge) effort! Way to go, we want to see it finished, pretty please :)

YaY! Be sure and post when it is finished. I have done some pillow tops in this method. Really helps me to see where I can improve my stitch. I applaud anyone willing to tackle a large quilt. :):)

Fantastic, keep up the great work.

Very nice. may I ask were you purchased the pre-printed top? I really want to do a whole cloth but I have never seen them. Thanks!

Awesome!! :shock:

Wow! That is a mammouth task but so beautiful!! A real future heirloom!

Beautiful. Always wanted to do one, don' t think I have the patience to wait,

Wow! That is beautiful. I would love to see it when you fully complete it... please don't forget to share a photo!

how cool is that, it is going to be beautiful when done, cannot wait to see it...

What a treasure this will be Such a commitment of time--I'm sure you'll love it and use it with pride!

Beautiful! Can't wait to see it finish.

What patience!!! It will be very beautifull!!!

Boy that will be a beauty. You are very patient!

I found it at a quilt store in GA when we were there visiting last year.

This one is Queen Anne Star by Penn Prints, Inc.

If you do a search for "Penn Prints pre-printed wholecloth quilt tops" you will get results where you can buy one.

Just the top and binding runs about $55. If you get a kit with the backing it is around $100+.

WOW, just beautiful. What a project, you are so brave

Very nice work!! No way I would ever have the time or patience to do that. Maybe some time after retirement, but.....nah!!! Probably NEVER!! :-)

Very beautiful job. I just love whole cloth quilts.
I love the second picture. It has all the necessities:
pins, thread, thimble and remote control. :thumbup:

I am full of admiration, what an undertaking - and it is going to be so beautiful.

What a gorgeous quilt your working on. How many hours a day do you find time to work on this quilt? I hope you post this heirloom once you complete it. :-) :-)

It will be an heirloom!! beautiful

Some days I get to quilt for a few hours on it, (if it's my day off of work). Other days I only get 30 min. or so to work on it before work...
And, unfortunately, some days, I don't get to work on it at all. :(

I'd say you've made pretty good progress getting half way through since November. Gonna be a gorgeous quilt.

Very impressive and congratulations for keeping with it.

Oh my....that is going to be stunning!

This is definitely show quality work. You are doing a great job and taking your time. These are not done quickly. Thank you for shareing.

Way to go! You have way more patience than I do! Keep up the good work and let us see it when it's finished...I can't wait!

Oh my that is just incredible! I had no idea you can get the fabric pre-printed. How interesting.
