Quiltingboard Forums - My first whole cloth quilt

Very Sweet & love the design you selected....... I absolutely LOVE whole cloth quilting. Back in the mid seventies I used to travel into Utah to this grand quilt shop in the Salt Lake, downtown area. They sold unbelievable patterns to mark them. I had a light table on wheels that I could roll underneath the quilt frame to light up the area and trace it off in minimal time. I've never done actual machine quilting on a quilt......always done it by hand. Soooo relaxing! BTW I used really inexpensive muslin, then the paper pattern, then the actual fabric that the design was to be transferred to. Hook to the frame... when done tracing it off... just unroll and remove muslin & the pattern....Works like a charm. I haven't been able to find the paper patterns in IL. will have to do some research on line.........would love to do one more in this lifetime.
