I didn't know that. That's very interesting, rape seed being called Canola. The quilt is really wonderful.

It looks lovely.

Ladies, nowadays, we know "rapeseed" as Canola. [Can = Canada / ola = oil ]. It is genetically modified, one of the most successful early uses of Genetic Modification. Before the modification of its genetic material, it was not commercially successful to raise as a crop and then try to squeeze the oil out. It could be done, but was too expensive. The genetic modification made all the difference.

Good job Noella. I knew it was you as soon as I saw the name in the title.

Wow that is very nice!!

Beautiful interpretation of a photo....and thanks for the answer to what ? about rape seed/canola.......Learn something new every day!

All I knew about the rape seed was, it was part of a mixed bird seed mixture, for caged birds, like parakeet and canary.

Very pretty, you did a great job on it.

Nicely done landscape. Love the way the tree on the left invades the border.

Canola oil is made from rape seed. We walked through many of these fields when we hiked England from coast to coast. Never thought to make a quilt featuring them. Great idea.
