I spent years quilting a whole cloth quilt of white. When I presented it to my first GD at her wedding, she and her new husband both burst into tears! What a joy that they appreciated it. But in this world, each to his own. I'm sure yours was lovely.

Would love to see her quilt. I am in the process of making a white string quilt (Ditter's tutorial) and it is turning into my favorite quilt ever. I usually only use brights and batiks so this is a big change for me.

I've noticed on decorating shows that they often dress the bed in all white linens, blankets and quilts of different textures. I think it looks clean and inviting and maybe that's what he thinks also. I like it when my family and friends point out to me what they like in colors and fabrics because then I get ideas for gifts for them.
I'm sure her white quilt is beautiful and I'd like to see it.

I love quilts, pieced of all colors, including batiks and mixed; but have recently made some whole cloth quilts with stippling; everyone carried on so over them that I am really into whole cloth quilts now--they are so quick and easy--two days plus the binding and you're done. My GS (whom I dearly love) has accepted two of my BOM quilts with some reservations. But when I recently gave him one of the whole cloth quilts, he actually gushed out loud over it. I was flabbergasted. You just never know......

My mother, God bless her, is really trying to like quilts because I make them. She just cannot get passed by all the colors and prints. She would probably be mesmerized by your friend's quilt. I still have not made a quilt for my mother. She will love anything I make because it came from me but I also want her to really like the quilt itself. Maybe I will try a one color quilt and see how it goes. Thank you for the idea.
