My first attempt at a row by row whole cloth quilt
 

Here's a peek at my first three rows of what will be a whole cloth quilt. I started this to challenge my free motion skills. Never thought I would be interested in making a whole cloth quilt, but this process has been so rewarding. If interested, the online instructor is Jeanne Harrison.[ATTACH=CONFIG]612440[/ATTACH]

Its wonderful, Mavis! What a great pattern! I do mini-whole cloths by hand. Amazing what you have done by machine!

Wow! Your free motion quilting is beautiful. That quilt will be awesome when it's completed.

Great job!

wow, that's terrific

It is so very beautiful, Mavis. This quilt will be a vision of loveliness when you're done.:cool:

Fabulous quilting! At least you were open to trying a new method and found that it worked for you. It is a beautiful technique.

This is a gorgeous quilt, You are so good, I don't know why you are trying to do a whole cloth, row by row. You have done it.

It will be gorgeous when finished.

You're doing such a marvelous job! Keep up the beautiful work.

Gorgeous. Can't wait to see it finished.

Stunning!!!

Beautiful workmanship. Thank you for sharing

That is so beautiful, you are doing wonderfully.

Absolutely stunning! I love how you have used a different color thread. It gives more interest to that row.

Can you share what fabric, threads, and batting you are using? I might attempt to give this a try.

Thanks so much for sharing with all of us!

Thanks so much, Mavis, you are an inspiration for us all.

Your quilting is amazing! Your project will turn into a very beautiful quilt for you.

An incredible beauty! It is already an heirloom.

Awesome job!

I am in awe of your abilities. This is amazing work!

Just amazing quilting. Our FMQing group, self led as we all bought machines there, have done several Jeanne Harrison projects. She breaks it down, both in print and in YouTube, so that it is achievable. I think you have to belong to her group on Facebook though?

Wow Mavis! That is exquisite!

Wow! That is awesome!

Stunning so far!

That is awesome.

Beautiful work!

Thanks, everyone. I'll try to catch up answering questions. I am using muslin fabric for the front and back. Thread matches the muslin very closely. What looks like contrasting color is the colored Crayola washable marker used for tracing the pattern. I washed the rows yesterday, by hand, in. the kitchen sink, and the Crayola people kept their word, those markers really do wash out. I marked the first row in blue, another in purple, and another in gray. All washed out well!
Yes, Jeanne Harrison group is accessed through facebook, and once accepted into the closed group, you get access to the workbook, files, practice patterns, and some lesson videos are on u-tube. She takes you through the stage of "I can't even draw" to thinking back to childhood scribbling and helps us see by using some simple childlike drawing, we can expand on that and make beautiful quilted shapes. She is an amazing instructor. She is currently going through a serious health issue, so I don't know how much longer her lessons will be available.

Wow, that is amazing.

Absolutely Stunning!

You are doing beautiful quilting.

Wow, you are doing a fabulous job. It looks like a great FMQ growing experience.

OMG!! You wanted to 'challenge' your FMQ skills? Seems to me you've already mastered this skill. Your work is absolutely fabulous. I'm so jealous I could cry.....

Amazing!!!

Absolutely gorgeous!

Hi Mavis, I'm also doing the Row by Row with Jeanne. She makes us all look like quilting superstars. Waiting for Wednesday class.

Well I was wondering with all these quilters if someone else out there wasn't a part of that group too! Share your progress---we all would love to see your rows too![

Jeanne does have a way of making all of us look like superstars. The true mark of a great instructor.QUOTE=jokir44;8249918]Hi Mavis, I'm also doing the Row by Row with Jeanne. She makes us all look like quilting superstars. Waiting for Wednesday class.[/QUOTE]
