MaggiS Posted March 29, 2022 Report Share Posted March 29, 2022 Hello to all you amazing quilters. It has been a while since I have posted and I hope all is going well with everyone here. I am pondering making a whole cloth quilt out of sheer linen, the gauzy drapery kind. Any advice? Am pretty certain I am not the only dreamer Thanks. Take care everyone and have a good day.

jimerickson Posted March 29, 2022 Report Share Posted March 29, 2022 Think about what will show under the "gauzy" fabric. Batting choice might be very important. Do some experimenting before you commit. Jim dbams 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MaggiS Posted March 30, 2022 Author Report Share Posted March 30, 2022 Thanks Jim. Transparency is a concern. Also thinking of "tightness" for loading. Thank you for taking the time to respond. Take care and have a good day. dbams 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cagey Posted March 30, 2022 Report Share Posted March 30, 2022 I would suggest visiting Cindy Needham's site; https://www.cindyneedham.com/collections/wholecloth-patterns She is a wonderful quilting teacher. She quilts on heirloom lace handkerchiefs. Search her name and include "heirloom handkerchief" and you will find a number of her examples. I have emailed her asking a question, and she has replied. It might be as easy as using two layers of the sheer linen to get the outcome you want. Best of luck. Let us see what you come up with please.
