Eunice spent eighteen months piecing her Mrs Billings quilt by machine. These really are a labour of love which I would never have the patience to even start never mind finish. It must be a great sense of achievement to see it finished though.
This is the second Mrs Billings that I have quilted, there is so much piecing that quilting design choices are limited and cost prohibitive for my clients too. So simple quilting although every piece is quilted somehow.
Mrs Billings is the pattern name available from Somerset Patchwork
Off white thread and customer supplied wadding, 92" x 92"
As with many of this type of quilt, both piecer and quilter spent time finding solutions to give a good result for the borders, but a pleasing result was accomplished on both sides....
As usual lots of photos....
