My Practice Wholecloth

I'm practicing wholecloth quilting because I enjoy it so much, but I'm not that good at it. The binding I picked just because I had it at hand.The backside is a darker gold. These are just plain Kona cottons.
The center of the quilt. My diagonals need a lot of practice, but once the quilt was washed, it looked a lot better.


A close-up of the edge. I should either use thicker batting for the trapunto, or have a denser background stitching so the trapunto stands out more. I think I'm doing another king size for a wedding present, so I'm glad I'm getting a little more practice and learning some things.
