Whole Cloth Quilt
Completed: September 2018
Pattern: none
Block Size: none
Quilt Size: 61.5 x 68”; 59 x 65” after shrinking
Fabric: Fern Book Navy from the “Mesa” collection by Cotton + Steel’s Alexia Abegg of Green Bee Design. Pieced quilt back with orange and navy-colored fabric from stash.
Technique: Cut yardage of focus fabric and matched design lengthwise using Elizabeth Hartman’s technique in Craftsy’s Creative Quilt Backs class. Quilted through all three quilt layers with wavy lines. Used a lighter-weight batting (Quilter’s Dream Select) to make the quilting process easier on my domestic machine.
Note: This whole-cloth quilt was created to highlight the focus fabric’s large-scale pattern design.
