19th Century Welsh whole cloth quilt with varied stitching patterns. Of a juniper or a blue-green color, sun faded over time. The top of the quilt was usually made from finely woven fabric and the batting is wool. The wool batting allowed for a raised effect when the quilt was quilted.
Whole cloth quilts were status symbol quilts in the mid-1800’s.  Either a woman had the leisure time and the expertise to produce one of these quilts or she had the money to purchase it.  Making a whole cloth quilt not only took time and resources, it also required exceptionally fine needlework skills. 
Wuilts from Wales, such as this one, had repetitive motifs – spirals, paisleys, fans, hearts, leaves, and large circles.
