This stunner impressed the judges a lot! It was called "Devoted to You" by Hazel Ryder, Yardley, Hampshire. She says "This quilt is designed to look as if it is constructed from old quilts. A central medallion is surrounded by strippy panels and "repairs". I used hand dyed fabrics with machine and hand stitching to enhance traditional Welsh quilting patterns, reflecting their heritage through shape and colour whilst looking to the future."
My photos don't really do it justice. The hearts down the left hand side were done using a chenille technique.....very effective!
