I was looking on line to see what is available and it seems they are rather rare - the on-line shops all seem to sell the same 9 quilts, only difference was the price. Will have to check out the vendor that goes to the quilt shows come September.

Traditional Quilter

Why not design your own? Barbara Chainey's "Essential Quilter" has a section on how to. Also, Karen McTavish machine quilts some gorgeous whole cloths. Her book on "Whitework" is out of print, but you could probably find it at your local library. I read on another site that this book is quite expensive from some of the used book sellers. I happen to have it and while there are some beautiful quilts I didn't find much in the way of "how to." Of course, I'm a hand quilter and perhaps I missed something. Some years ago I bought a throw size preprinted wholecloth, but found the fabric to be extremely thin. I don't remember the brand name, but thought it was Benartex. I have at present a pattern drawn out on paper and the fabric on a shelf. I have a couple of projects to finish before I transfer it to fabric. A king size whole cloth and a strippy are on my bucket list.

Having said all that, if you google, Benartex Whole Cloth quilts, you will find sources from which to purchase.

just received a new Keepsake Quilter catalog in the mail- they have a couple different ones to choose from....I know there are others but can't think of them right now....why not design your own? start with a center medallion you like- then maybe a couple borders around it, then corners, side centers, negative space....i know easier said then done---not necessarily- start with a sketch pad- or an applique pattern you like & build around it....you may create a master piece!

Just a note of explanation on the price difference at Keepsake Quilting for Holice's wholecloth designs...KQ sells them as a kit that includes a matching backing and binding. They also have free shipping through March 31st with promo code KQGFREE. Backing is an additional cost at the other retailers. Just thought I'd mention it. http://quilting.keepsakequilting.com...h?w=wholecloth

I have ordered from Christian Lane and I loved my wholecloth. After getting done with it I washed it and it was so soft. I am going to order another one. My queen was 60.00 and they have wallhangings 45.oo.
