One of my daughters wants a white quilt, that isn't pieced, just quilted (and SHE'S not going to be the one quilting it). I guess I got volunteered for the job, although I was sure to not give a time frame because I think it's going to be very labor intensive.
I know I can order a pre-printed wholecloth quilt top, so all I would have to do would be buy some batting and a backing, sandwich it all together and start the quilting. It would save a bunch of time if I wouldn't have to mark the top. But, I am concerned about the quality of the fabric that you get when you order one of those tops. Has anyone ordered one? I don't want to get something that is of poor quality because I'm planning on doing all this quilting by hand and I want it to last. The on line catalog's don't say anything about threads per inch or anything so I have no idea what kind of quality we're talking about.
