Wholecloth feathered pineapple ... Done!
 
1 Attachment(s)
For years I have dreamed of having a Wholecloth quilt! Well, that day has finally come with the help of the ladies in my quilting group. This feathered pineapple, which took almost 4 months to complete, is queen size and a natural color. Happy dance here!!

Just gorgeous. A beautiful whole cloth quilt. I know how much work these are. Glad you had help. I've never attempted a big one.

This is just beautful! I have always loved whole cloth quilts in off-white or pastels. There is an elegance about them. Yours is perfect!

I'm looking closely and this is hand quilted ??? OMG. What a treasure. It looks wonderful.

Maureen NJ 08-03-2016 04:17 PM

When I first read this, I thought it said 4 years to make. Then I read 4 months. You must have been quilting every day for many hours! You sure are fast. It's beautiful! Can you give us more info? Fabric brand and color. What kind of batting? What kind and weight of thread? Thanks.

Mariposa 08-03-2016 04:19 PM

Wow! So elegant and beautiful!

dunster 08-03-2016 04:51 PM

Wonderful quilt! You and your group are very talented.

brandeesmom 08-03-2016 05:41 PM

Just beautiful! Glad you had some help making this keepsake.

Lynneander 08-03-2016 05:59 PM

The quilt top is by Benartex and I chose the natural color (white was the other option). The batting was Dream, which is 100% cotton and wonderful to work with. I used just a simple thread to match the fabric which was again all cotton. The ladies in the quilting group I sew with took care care in hand stitching this with me over those 4 months. It is something I will treasure, both for the actual quilt and the time spent with friends.

Your wholecloth quilt is simply elegant and so beautiful. I have dreams of doing one someday but I can certainly enjoy your masterpiece today. Thank you for sharing.

woodyandjake 08-04-2016 09:12 AM

Beautiful. I started one over 20 years ago. I need to get busy.

cforge 08-04-2016 09:18 AM

That is absolutely gorgeous ! No wonder you are doing the happy dance.

Lynneander 08-04-2016 12:47 PM

The batting is quilter's dream ... 100% cotton. As the name says, it truly was a dream to quilt. It will be my go-to batting from now on!

copycat 08-05-2016 02:35 AM

4 months is great for completing this work of Art....congrats!

Battle Axe 08-05-2016 03:01 AM

Just lovely. You did a great job!!

pahega 08-05-2016 04:26 AM

I have always wanted to make a wholecloth quilt. Yours is just absolutely lovely! I use Quilters Dream Request. Did you use Request or Select? Also, where did you get the quilting pattern for your quilt? You should be very proud of this treasure. Beautiful!!!!

Taughtby Grandma 08-05-2016 04:35 AM

It is beautiful!! Well done!

ccthomas 08-05-2016 05:05 AM

Beautiful wholecloth quilt.

Bree123 08-05-2016 05:06 AM

Really lovely. I've been thinking about making a Queen wholecloth for myself & am amazed at the cost & time that goes into it. What an incredible accomplishment for you to finish this quilt -- and it's beautifully understated while showing incredible skill. I'm hoping to machine quilt mine, but yours looks to be hand quilted. Wow!

mjmachin 08-05-2016 05:47 AM

This is absolutely beautiful, what a treasure to have.

rryder 08-05-2016 06:03 AM

What a beautiful quilt! Enjoy it and the memories you and your group created while quilting it.
