Sue brought me this lovely 'Mrs Billings' quilt, all hand pieced with a running stitch using beautiful bright oriental fabrics. It took around 18 months of stitching time, the hexagons are appliqued onto the background, the border design is very clever. The pattern can be found on the Quilters Guild of the British Isles website in the UK or at Somerset Patchwork in Australia.
I did what I call minimal quilting but it was still quite intense with all of those pieces, I used only two threads, Sue provided the wadding which I think was Hobbs 80/20, it's a heavy quilt with all of those seams...
The original Mrs Billings quilt is in the hands of /the Quilters Guild of the British Isles....
I'm going to let the photos speak fr themselves...
