And Why Are they So Expensive?

If you’ve ever compared a store-bought quilt to a handmade one, the difference can be hard to explain—but easy to feel.

What Is a Whole Cloth Quilt?

I have most of mine shown in White. But They dont have to be white, I can do any basic solid color. All are beautiful! ( these white ones are hard to get good pictures of, in person they are yummie!

• Repeated designs made in bulk
• Minimal quilting detail

They’re made to look good on a shelf—but not necessarily to last through years of use and washing.

Quality You Can Feel

From the drape to the texture, natural cotton fibers make this quilt feel soft and luxurious. The pattern has been a favorite for years, and I’ve quilted it in multiple motifs—each giving the quilt a distinct personality while staying true to the timeless :
