This is another of my favourite quilts from the Jen Jones Collection. It was made in Pembrokeshire in the late 19th century . If you click the picture and zoom in you will see that the quilter has very carefully placed the urn of flowers over the central patchwork pieces -
Jen has kindly allowed me to use the images to illustrate a piece I am writing for the Winter edition of "The Quilter", the magazine of the Quilters' Guild of the British Isles and I thought you might like to see them too?
The reverse of the quilt isn't usually on display of course, but it could stand alone as a whole cloth, which I know many of you are interested in. I personally I am not keen on cross hatching, but it does fill a design without too much cudgelling of the brain and it is a good way of coping with a rectangle! As as you can see from this close-up, the quilting is yummy!

Thank you for sharing the pictures of that beautiful quilt! I especially like the way the rope patterns cross to form the corner squares (with hearts and a rose!) of the leaf/tulip border. What an interesting design idea!
