This is a small quilt that I stitched a number of years ago now......
but it still sits waiting for a home!
I wanted to have a go at wholecloth quilting but decided on this cot-size piece I suppose it would be called - it sits on top of a double bed and just covers the bottom half.
I used an oyster pink dupion silk and stitched with a matching silk thread.
The design just seemed to happen really but I had been admiring a cross-stitch pattern for the rose window at York Minster at the time - the cross-stitch never happened but I so enjoyed making this quilt.... even if the seed stitch in the centre-piece drove me nuts!

I've found it quite difficult to get a decent phot of it but I like this one because it shows the lovely sheen of the silk and picks up on the play of light and dark on the stitching and pattern
that is is one of the ouotcomes of quilting that I love so much.
Someday I might be adventurous and try a larger piece!!!!!

Wow!!! This quilt is amazing!!!! Such talent, and I can't begin to think how many hours of painstaking work is there. Wholecloth quilting has always seemed unattainably complicated to me, a paper pieced and tied quilt is about the limit of my quilting skill I'm sad to say.
