Carolyn Gibbs wrote a new post, Wholecloth Quilts: Central motifs 8 years, 2 months ago
Have you ever seen a wholecloth quilt? A surprising number of “quilters” today don’t know what this is, and even fewer have made one.
The UK has a wonderful tradition of quilts which contain no patchwork at all,…

Thank you for bringing these wholecloth quilts to life.I hadn’t realised the traditions behind them, but they always take my breath away. I mainly hand stitch and quilt, so perhaps I need to put one of these on the ‘to do’ list. Thanks again
-
Pleased to hear that you share my enjoyment of these beautiful quilts. I do hope that you decide to make a wholecloth yourself.
-
-
Never seen on ‘in the flesh’, but they are amazing.
-
Fantastic, aren’t they? If you are coming to the Festival of Quilts in August, then come to the British Quilt Study Group exhibition to see some wholecloth quilts – I am doing a Quilt Academy workshop on the Friday, too, for anyone who would like a really close-up look.

I woud love to but living in Spain – it is a bit difficult. Perhps next year……

I enjoyed this article so much and hope to make a wholecloth quilt myself some day. Thanks/

Thank you Pauline! I hope you do manage to make a wholecloth yourself. I have almost finished my first – not a bed sized quilt yet, but I have so enjoyed it.

I started a wholecloth quilt quite a few years ago, this is a ‘work in progress’. I just love reading anything connected with wholecloths and their history
-
Lovely to hear of more people who enjoy these beautiful quilts. Do post a photo of your wholecloth in the Facebook group!

Loved reading this blog giving the history to these fabulous quilts. Very informative, thank you Carolyn.
-
I’m pleased you found it interesting, Carol. We have a wonderful heritage of distinctive British quilts here in the UK, which deserves to be more widely known.

Was able to see whole cloth quilts at the NEC, they were a wonder and something I’d like to do in the future
-
Was it the red, white and blue wholecloth quilts on the BQSG stand? They were fabulous, weren’t they? Yes, do try making a wholecloth yourself – it’s such a lovely thing to do (but perhaps start on something smaller than a quilt though!)

I may have asked for pre-wound bobbins for Christmas and birthdays… You can get them in packs of 25+!
