Whole Cloth Knit Quilt



We decided to use some of the cotton double knit fabric in Mother's stash to make whole cloth quilts. This one used a blue and red floral knit. It was a wonderfully soft feeling quilt when finished. The back was a plain light green cotton and a light green cotton with 'eyelashes'. Hannah called it 'chenille'.

One of the problems with knits is stretching or stretching out of kilter when tightened on the quilt frame. I was careful not to over stretch and this quilt was almost a rectangle when finished.

We mailed it to Aunt Elaine and she uses it on her bed.
