Welsh blankets are "in" at the moment and this spectacular one has just been sold by
Jen Jones.
At first glance I thought it was a quilt, which is probably why I am drawn to this pattern of blanket. I first saw one at the cottage of my friends the
Havards and then again the Prince of Wales has one in his Welsh farm house and Jen of course has them in her collection.
Here are some images -

When I first saw these blankets I was inspired to make a quilt with little nine patch black and white squares and made quite a few before running out of steam. I then had a rethink and put them together in a slightly different way. At the moment this little quilt is at the quilting stage and so is not very photogenic. When I finish it, soon I hope, I will show you!

Interesting stuff. Need quite a few large quilts to cover TVs in our home.
Hi Mary clicked on the link to your book ...is it only available in E book form or can I buy it hardcover? My daughter lives near Lampeter in Llwyn-y-Groes so she could bring it over in Dec when she visits
Sorry quiltygal, but it's only available as an E book. Give it a go it's very user friendly!
