Description
Wholecloth quilts are the most typical British quilts, and have been made for hundreds of years.
Instead of being made of patchwork, a single fabric is used for each side of the quilt, and elaborate hand-quilted designs cover the entire surface.
In this Study video, Carolyn Gibbs shows close-up photos of a Welsh wholecloth quilt made in the mid-nineteenth century, and discusses the distinctive designs.
Particular emphasis is given to analysing how the border and corners were marked and worked.
Although it is not known who made the quilt, census records are searched to discover possible quilters in the area at the time.
The video format allows you to watch full screen at a time convenient to you, and to pause or rewind if there are sections which you would like to revisit.
If you found it interesting to study a single quilt in detail like this, you would enjoy attending my online Heritage Quilt Club. Look in the Shop for details.
