A really clear and interesting post, Abigail, which highlights how you chose the most effective fabrics for this modern style. Choosing fabrics is something so many people struggle with!

Thank you Teresa – I’m always surprised that string piecing isn’t taught more often, as it does make such a difference! Have a look out for my other videos too.

There was so much at St Fagans I didn’t have time to see….. Only a few quilts are usually on display, so maybe ask in advance of your next visit, and they will get some more out for you to look at.

These are wonderfully evocative quilts with such a distinctive provenance. I love the two frame quilts, which also have tantalising glimpses of lovely quilting.

Interesting as always, Chris! So many effects possible with traditional blocks.

Thank you – this story does seem to have touched many hearts!

Thank you – I hope that it brings a fresh appreciation of an old wonder

Was it the red, white and blue wholecloth quilts on the BQSG stand? They were fabulous, weren’t they? Yes, do try making a wholecloth yourself – it’s such a lovely thing to do (but perhaps start on something smaller than a quilt though!)
