Festival of Quilts

Another fantastic trip to the NEC in Birmingham to see the Festival of Quilts with the patchwork group from Castle Coombe.
It was an amazing impact of imaculate Quilts from the first scan of the festival. I was in awe of all the work that had gone into creating these works of art.
Having just finished my first ever quilt I was soon taking in inspiration for my next quilt.
I had bought myself three lovely Liberty prints and took swatches of these to find some more fabrics from the hundreds of trade stands at the show.I found a wonderful supplier that had some perfect cotton lawn to go with my ideas for my next quilt.

On my last trip to the V&A took some pictures of this amazing tiled floor and decided this was going to be the inspiration for my next design.
