decide what to do with this quilted piece:
Are you familiar with whole cloth quilting?
Whole cloth quilts are created from one single piece of fabric; unlike patchwork, a whole cloth quilt is not pieced at all. The design across the surface is made entirely from quilting stitches.
They were traditionally made by women who had money enough to purchase wide pieces of fabric.
From Day Style Designs, "This really is an amazing quilting style that deserves a try at least once in your quilting journey."
O.k. Now I don't know what to do with it since it is only about a fourth of a quilt top. It makes me think of a recipe: I've tried it; don't care for it; won't do it again.
But, it was too much work to throw out; any suggestions as to a use for it?

I think it is very pretty Charlotte~ how about using it as a table topper? If nothing else, I would throw it over the back of my couch so everyone could see all my hard work! :)
ReplyDeletewhat size is it Charlotte?
ReplyDeleteMaybe you could use it as a pillow cover for a bed pillow. I guess it would be covered up though if you did that. I think Paula's table topper idea is good too!
ReplyDeleteoh my, what a decision!! IT IS LOVELY and what wonderful hand quilting you have done...hmmmm
ReplyDeleteyes, a pretty piece to hand on the back of a sofa for all to adore. or over a bed as a wallhanging???
I'm with Paula.. throw it over the couch or table.
ReplyDeleteI figure whatever you decide to do with it will be perfect for it. It's a beautiful work of art regardless of your choice. Well done. :)
ReplyDeleteIs it large enough to use as a middle square of a quilt? The outer blocks could be pieced blocks made to compliment the designs in the white area, maybe like blocks made with the basket pattern or leaf pattern.
This is absolutely beautiful.
ReplyDeleteI think I would use it as a table topper or just in the center of my bed. Display it somewhere but do not let it get soiled. I would place it in the middle of my bed..
Merry Christmas to you and your family.
ReplyDeleteIt is beautiful! Make a small wall hanging out of it by adding a beautiful border!
ReplyDeleteSuch lovley stitching! It would look great laying across the back of a chair!
ReplyDeleteThat is so beautiful! You have been told many wonderful things to do with it, and those ideas were exactly what I was thinking. Show it off somewhere whether it be on a wall or chair or table.
ReplyDeleteYou could frame it and hand it on the wall. Very pretty!
