I couldn't say it better!

Beautiful work! I cannot imagine doing all that by hand.

stunning really is the first thing that comes to mind!!!....absolutely gorgeous!!...

That is absolutely stunning - considering how much I love hand quilting I still haven't done a wholecloth!!!

Breathtaking!

All I can do is echo everyone else WOW!

That is absolutely stunning. A couple of questions: What are you using for batting? and what did you draw the d esign with? Will be looking forward to the finished project. I did one of those, but it was a pre-print. What does the other side look like?

WOW!!!!!!!!!!!!!!that is going to be a treasure!!!!

It is simply (well, not SIMPLY!!) exquisite!! Please keep posting your progress on it!!

The quilt isn't completed yet and what you see is just the front side of the quilt. The open edges with batting and backing are invisible on the picture.

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.

Like a chandelier!

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.

I'm 59 and if I lived to be 100 I wouldn't finish that. beautiful!

This is going to be another beautiful projects. I always am in awe of your wonderful work.
