Time to Make a Wholecloth Quilt!

Published: Tue, 09/01/15

Hi ,

Yes, it's time to make a wholecloth quilt! A few years ago, I designed a simple wholecloth and taught many beginner quilters the basic steps to this unique quilting style.

Now we've updated this simple pattern to create the Heart & Feather Wholecloth Video Workshop.

We've included 10 videos to guide you through every step of making a beautiful wholecloth quilt. This video workshop will teach you how to:

- Prepare your fabric and mark the wholecloth design

- Add extra puff to your quilt with trapunto

- Master the three dense filler designs that will make your motifs pop

- How to fill the quilt in the most logical and fastest way possible

- Finish your wholecloth with step-by-step blocking and binding

Creating a wholecloth quilt is definitely a skill building experience and you may be wondering if this is beyond your skill level.

I created my first wholecloth when I was very much a beginner and I made loads of mistakes! I've shared my beginner mistakes and many helpful hints throughout this workshop to help you through every step of the process.

What Is a Video Workshop?

This video workshop is collection of videos you can watch online or download to your computer or tablet device. The videos are linked within a downloadable PDF that comes with the Heart and Feather quilt pattern and detailed learning guide.

In order to access the videos and pattern, you’ll need to be able to download a PDF file to your computer. You'll also need to be able to print out the pages of the wholecloth pattern in order to mark your quilt top.

Are you unsure if wholecloth quilting is really for you? The best thing about this project is its small size and simple design. The Heart & Feather Wholecloth quilt finishes at 16 inches square.

This is one wholecloth project you can jump into and not get bogged down with month and months of tedious quilting. It will give you a taste for this quilting style without becoming overwhelming.
