Janette Posted November 22, 2011 Report Share Posted November 22, 2011 Can't wait to see the results. I have had a go aswell with my first wholecloth design from scratch, and at the moment all ready to be marked onto fabric. I like the paper result so far though. Hope it all goes well.

Deb2bie Posted November 22, 2011 Report Share Posted November 22, 2011 Can't wait to see what you've done!!! My wholecloth quillt is still in my head!!! Maybe all this talk about them will help me get it down on paper, although I'm tempted to wait for my IQ now. It's only a few weeks now and with the holdays upon us that will fly by!!!

IBQLTN2 Posted November 23, 2011 Report Share Posted November 23, 2011 Wow, Linda I do wish you luck but I think you will do an amazing job and I can't wait to see it. Did you take a wholecloth class or did you just wing it from books etc.. I wouldnt know where to start to design one myself. You may think you need luch but we know the talent that you have is not luck!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yes I did thanks, it was quite addictive drawing them out and mirroring it all etc. I am not quite confident yet though to quilt it out, but will see how it goes. Hope yours goes well.

quilted charm Posted November 23, 2011 Report Share Posted November 23, 2011 Oh, that's exciting! I designed one in a Karen McTavish class, but haven't found the time (or courage) to devote to actually quilting it. Hope you have a blast with it.

JustSewSimple Posted November 23, 2011 Report Share Posted November 23, 2011 I love wholecloths. Can you tell us what color fabric you used? I know white and ecru are the most used but sometimes folks use yellows and such! How long did it take you to design it? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

lindasewsit Posted November 23, 2011 Author Report Share Posted November 23, 2011 Hi all! I didn't get to it last night... but started it this morning.... I have been 1 HOUR and 30 MINUTES JUST doing some simple circles!! Supposed to be one of the easiest parts of this quilt!! I could not get them to be equal distances apart from each other... I think you call them consentric circles? I was using my lines and everything, but they were not even!!!:mad::mad::mad: !!! I frogged about 6 times~! errr!! But, I kept at it, realized I was slipping, so I put new stuff on my rulers to "hold" them better. I now have 2 spots done that should have taked about 20 minutes at the most..... oh well Lesson learned!! Think I will go eat some lunch and then come back to it.... ever feel like you're just not supposed to be doing something ??? I have to go to work at 3:30, so I will see how much of this I get done this afternoon!! Thanks for listening to me rant!!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
