Fabulous job on both. I really like your design concepts and the practice and experience you are gaining by doing them is invaluable.

This is so totally cool. And that is a beginning wholecloth? Amazing. Love the texture

Thank you ladies! My inspiration for both of these were Cosmatesque architecture. Just Google it, and you will see all kinds of mosaic tile floors and walls. I swear those men would have made terrific quilters with their designs.

The first quilt only had one layer of batting, while the second one had two. I think the two layers made a HUGE difference in the appearance. In addition, I used silk thread on the second quilt, and it is much finer than cotton thread.

This was a terrific learning experience for me.
Again, thanks for the compliments - I was really down on myself (especially with the first one) on these - you've all made me feel much better!

I have never really been interested in whole cloth quilts but you have definitely changed my mine. They are both gorgous quilts! What will you do with them?
