I have been making whole cloth quilts for children because the fabrics were so gorgeous and seemed to tell a story. I included a accompanying story book and machine quilted them calling the blanquilts. But i love your idea so much more so thank you for the beautiful tutorial, and what to do with the three saris I have ready to go.

My Mother made whole cloth quilts for at least 20 years. She would use novelty material on one side and back with a solid material. She would quilt by machine. One of her quilts was always a gift in our Christmas gift game. Thank you for spreading the word on whole cloth quilts. Have a blessed, happy Fall

Oh, hello! How long have you been here? Have you been reading Piece Fabric Co.'s blogs for over a year now? Because today we are talking about whole cloth quilts, but it's not the first time I've written a blog post on them!

When we received our first shipment of double gauze, I was determined to figure out the perfect combination of double gauze and... well, whatever other fabric was perfect to make the most luxurious whole cloth quilt. You can read that blog post HERE, and then once you're fully convinced that you need one, come back to this post to find out how to make it!

Each more than likely had a different maker, as stitch length and thread composition are varied, as well as the make and weaves of the fabrics. This study simply re-emphasizes the trouble quilt historians and archivists have in dating some of the white, whole cloth quilts.

Trapunto makes the unquilted areas or less-quilted areas more pronounced. Sometimes if a wool batt is used, only small, tight quilting stitches are needed to make the quilt look as if it has this effect. However, at other times, some additional help is needed. Which brings us to what was used as the backing of a whole cloth quilt. Most of the time, the backing was comprised of a fabric of less quality than was used with the top. The weave was looser, so the quilter could tease the fibers apart and insert additional batting, cotton, or cotton cording in the trapunto section. However, in the best white, whole cloth quilts, the back and the front are indistinguishable.

What is a whole cloth quilt? Basically it's a quilt with one piece of fabric on the front, and one on the back- so no cutting or piecing. But it's still a super satisfying project to make as you still have the batting and binding (and quilting!)

In looking at wholecloth designs, remember that they were of course designed to be seen on beds, rather than displayed vertically as on most of my photos.

The usual framework consisted of a large central design which would be displayed on the top of the bed, surrounded by one or more borders which would hang down at the side.

Two regions of the United Kingdom have particularly strong traditions of wholecloth quilting; Wales, and the North East of England. The overall style and the motifs used from each region can easily be recognised.

A Whole Cloth Quilt is a quilt with a top made of one solid piece of fabric. Historically, the focus of a whole cloth quilts was displaying the makers needlework skills. The tops of these quilts were wool or cotton but the backs were made from linen. Women would tease the linen fibers apart and stuff the quilt between the stitches to raise them up. The beauty of these quilts are the intricate quilting designs, including trapunto or stuffed work, that continues today with contemporary Whole Cloth Quilts. Designers layout their patterns onto solid fabric, mark the pattern and stitch by machine or hand. Specialty threads are often used by machine quilters on their Whole Cloth Quilts. Whole Cloth quilts showcase the beauty of machine or hand quilting with out the distraction of patchwork or applique.

Having recently found Karen McTavish and her wonderful books Whitework Quilting and Mastering the Art of McTavishing, I knew how to create a wholecloth quilt using plastic quilting templates, but what about designing the quilt on paper? Could I draw this design at full size and then mark the quilt top?

After it was quilted, the quilt was soaked in water, blocked into shape, then bound using bias binding around the curved edges. Now the quilt was pretty much finished and it was a beautiful wholecloth quilt.

Of course, no quilt is without issues and this was my very first white wholecloth quilt. I didn't realize it at the time, but I'd made a fatal error in marking the quilt top. In the middle of the night, in the middle of the marking process, I ran out of ink in my water soluble marking pen.

This quilt really was a journey for me. I started on this path in October with the idea and research, which spawned into a sort of obsession by November. Along this journey I learned about patience dealing with sections of the quilt that seemed to take FOREVER! I learned about perseverance and sticking with it, even when I sometimes wanted to throw the whole thing in the trash and forget about it.

This must be stressed: if you are creating a light (white, yellow, etc) wholecloth with fabric that was light enough to see through for marking, this fabric will also be light enough that EVERYTHING will show through it.

I am busily trying to get to an organized position so i can start this project. I have been reading your blog since the beginning and you are wonderful for making such fantastic resources available to us. This project will be my first whole cloth and i am very excited to try it.

Hi Leah, I just found this post and I'm pretty excited. I've been wanting to make a whole cloth quilt for a while. Your blog is what turned me on to freemotion quilting by the way. Thanks for that! It's been so much fun.

You mention methods for transferring a design. Don Linn blogged this on the 2012 free motion quilt challenge. He transferred onto organza and used the organza to transfer to cloth. Including link. -2012-fmq-challenge-tutorial-by.html

Notice you have this month's blog. So excited.

Follow along with Roxane Lessa to see her creative process in making a whole cloth quilt! Visit the first part of the series, Whole Cloth Quilting Tips: Designing the Quilt here, and the second part of the series, Whole Cloth Quilting Tips: Making the Quilt Sandwich here. In this post, learn how Roxanne uses free-motion quilting to add dimension and design to her whole cloth quilt.

Once each area was quilted, I pinned the quilt up so I could evaluate the way the whole piece was shaping up. Each area I quilted seemed to lead me to quilt the next area until the left side of the piece was mostly done. But now, I had the whole right side to do.

Take another look at the whole design. Can you see how those corner designs anchor the whole quilt, bringing back to a square quilt? It creates a secondary design that takes it to the next level and takes the eye around the quilt seeking out the other patterns. Secondary patterns are also covered in the book.

This time I went with a wholecloth quilt pattern. This quilt is full of beautiful saturated Anna Maria Horner colour and showcases the Summer Totem in Tart floral print from her LouLouThi fabric line.

So many blog posts this week for my neglected little blog! I wasn't sure if I was going to join the internet block party that is #IGQuiltFest, but it sucked me in this year and has actually prompted both this blog and yesterday's Kona color card post! Today's prompt was "Fast Finish" which inspired me to finally get around to finishing two wholecloth baby quilts that I've had cut up and ready to go for weeks!

It took me less than four hours from start to finish to polish these guys off, and that included a grocery run! These are super simple, and use exactly two whole yards of fabric, so the only thing you have to cut if you're getting rid of some of those one-off yards is the batting. I love buying pretty prints for quilting fabric, but I don't tend to design with or use them in my quilts. Thus, they multiply when I'm not looking, and I end up with a bunch of fabrics that I love, but don't really use on the front of quilts and aren't necessarily enough to use for the back of quilts. For these, I mix-and-matched three Hawthorne threads prints (and one AGF polka dot for the back of the black floral), and they'll make great, less-expensive additions to my shop. I'm a little addicted to these now, and already have two or three other combos in mind!

Whole-cloth quilts are decorative and functional artifacts made of plain cloth embellished with complicated stitching patterns.We describe a method that can automatically create a sewing pattern for a whole-cloth quilt from a photograph.Our technique begins with a segmented image, extracts desired and optional edges, and creates a continuous sewing path by approximately solving the Rural Postman Problem (RPP).In addition to many example quilts, we provide visual and numerical comparisons to previous single- line illustration approaches.

In his quilts, Aaron often repurposes vintage tablecloths and linens, found or given to him. He dyes and overdyes them, cuts, rips, and re-pieces to create new objects that gesture to their past. Through pattern and color choice, he tells subtle stories about the people who live in the area. He reveals his process, at times through the ends of threads left unhidden after quilting or through the visible imprints of rusted objects on cloth. Aaron pays attention and homage to the stories that are often overlooked, shining a light on the layers of perception and experience that make up the community and history.

Many of you weren't around for the early days of Penelope Handmade, but I started out making wholecloth baby quilts with a coordinating children's book. I truly can't describe how delightful this was. I had a friend who came over each week to eat dinner and just jump into whatever we had going on (a gift of gifts!!!), and she also happened to be an elementary school teacher. Our shared love of children's books ran *deep* and I can't count the hours we spent searching for fabrics to go with books, or books to go with fabrics. 2351a5e196
