I took a little time to work on this wholecloth quilt I designed a few years back in a class with Karen McTavish. She is SUCH a fun quilter and so talented! She brought 100's of stencils for us to use during class and we had several hours to design and mark our quilts. I had a blast.
Once I got home, I was knee-deep in customer quilts (for years) and only recently forced myself to work on something just for me. I decided that now was the time to dig that wholecloth out and quilt it.
Scary but fun, with lots of hard work.
Here's a few pictures. I just love how it turned out. I'm entering it in the Santa Fa Fiber Arts Fiesta keeping my fingers crossed that it gets accepted. Wish me luck!
I just finished my first wholecloth quilt. Tell me what you think.

Still need to soak, then bind.

You can see how small everything is.
Should I enter it in the Santa Fe Fiber arts show?
