'Dryslwyn Dreams' - finished


Quilting in the ditch and the 'knife edge' finish was all done on Monday and the quilt is off for photography at the moment.  I'll have more news about the magazine that will be featuring the pattern very soon.  It is based on the quilt on page 37 of Janet Rae's 'Quilts of the British Isles' (1987) and, when the book was published, it was in Jen Jones' collection.  More about my remake here.

I thought 'Dryslwyn Dreams' was a good title, as I have never seen the original coverlet (no wadding) in real life and, in the book, I can't make out all the fabric details too closely, so mine is a very loose interpretation of original design.

I love it and look forward to seeing the pattern. Will you be at Festival of Quilts this year? I would love to try sashiko sometime and would love to meet you.

Sorry, I won't be at Festival of Quilts this year, although I will be at the Great Northern Quilt Show in early September. We're planning to be back at Festival next year.
