Wow I don't have the courage (or expertise) to do a whole cloth.

That is beautiful! Your quilting is amazing. I don't know much about whole cloth quilting. Is it plain cotton fabric and did you draw the design/feathers on before quilting. Is the grey flower just filled with grey stitching??? What you did is incredible.

Darcyshannon 09-23-2018 02:39 AM

Very pretty. Is it for yourself or a gift?

rilene 09-23-2018 07:07 AM

Congratulations! You've done a gorgeous job!

lass 09-23-2018 07:57 AM

Just love the design and your quilting is spectacular!

carolynjo 09-23-2018 01:46 PM

Ditto!!! How gorgeous.

zozee 09-23-2018 02:20 PM

Wow! Kudoes on a beautiful whole cloth. I'd be so nervous. How did you overcome anxiety for your first one?

sue.ross.8782 09-23-2018 07:10 PM

Marvelous quilting. You are a master!

A wholecloth quilt is one piece of fabric and then you sew the design.

I used a stencil, and rulers to do my design.

It's cream cotton fabric with a darker cream thread. The stitching in the middle of the flower and the borders is a micro stipple stitch on my machine. Much more mind numbing than doing the cross hatch!

It will be mine for about a year and then I'll donate it! I donate all my quilts at some point!

Thanks, I practiced with smaller ones (started with 20x20, then up to 40x40)

I also did lots of practice with FMQ.

MarionsQuilts 09-24-2018 07:39 AM

Thanks everyone for the kind words ... I did a Ton of practicing my FMQ on smaller wholecloth quilts before I even thought of doing this! It's been on my bucket list for ages, and now I can finally cross it off!

I am however, going to do others, just need to get the pattern in my head and then onto fabric!
