Brilliant work, can't wait to see the finished item. :thumbup: :thumbup:

No, I don't have a complete pattern for the quilt. In one of my books about the British Quilting history I saw a pictures of a very similar quilt and I fell in love with it! :) I did a little research in several books and I found some patterns there (which I had to enlarge), other patterns I draw myself or quilted them freehand like the small scrolls. The layout is made in the style of the North Country Quilts from Northern England: a huge center medallion, a wide border and crosshatch background quilting.
So you see, it's not my own design, but it's not an exact reproduction either because I did some small changes in the patterns.

You must have the patience of a saint. I think that even if my fingers wern't all twisted with arthritis, I would never be able to do what you do. The results you get are just priceless and perfect.
