Don't feel like the only one. I have several things in mine that I'm going to be working on. I'm making a lot of muslin bags to start storing my cleaned quilts in a different location. The bags are mostly to help with the dust once I figure out how to help them.

That is new info for me! But, my sister had several quilts made by her MIL that were filled with cotton batting that had little brown flecks in it, and she found little tiny stains from those flecks after a few years. We couldn't figure ut out until I opened an edge of binding and found flecks right under a stain.

wholecloth is both a quilt as well as a term for overall quilting on one piece of fabric. Traditionally we thought of it as a bed size quilt but now consider it a technique or type of quilting in which the quilting motif is the design. They are available as preprinted with wash out ink in wallhanging and queen size as well as 16" and 18" size - also in wash out ink. The small ones are excellent for practicing the quilting stitch and doesn't take a long time to complete. There are a few designs in crib size.
Wallhanging and queen are in white and natural. The 16 and 18" in white and natural as well as a number of colors.

Lab Fairy, What a beautiful quilt, you did a fantastic job of quilting. I would never attempt to do hand quilting, I hate to do hand work. I love that pattern, and be sure to keep it going since it has been in the family for so long. Great peice of work. Gerbie
