Pools Patchwork Quilt

Some time ago I was experimenting with hand appliqué and produced three wall hangings in what I called Blue Period, which may be found on the website in the 'Wall Hangings' category.  As a result I wanted to attempt a piece on a much larger scale and so set about making this quilt.

All the shapes have been stitched by hand (appliqué).  The quilting was done on a long arm machine by Cath Brough of Cumbrian Longarm Quilting.  

I used a multi-coloured print for the backing fabric as shown in the last photograph. Between the layers is some good quality wadding.

The approximate measurements are W73 1/2" x L86" or W187 cms x L218 cms
