And I agree, ...This is really an interesting quilt! And I agree, it seems to have design elements of North Country AND Welsh quilts. I'm really not an expert but there are some questions that come to my head. First, the design of the quilts looks like made for a framed quilt. It has mitered corners (like the quilt on page 36 in Dorothy Osler’s book “Traditional British Quilts”?) and it comes from Durham. The daisy in the middle and the running feather is North Country style – but I found a hint in Mavis Fitzrandolph’s book “Traditional Quilting” about a Welsh pattern that is similar to the feather and it’s called “fern” (page 112). Maybe you know how it looks like? As far as I know the interlocking circles or “wineglass” patterns are used in both regions, especially before 1850, the rope or twist in the borders as well. And finally there is one thing I miss with the leaves (thinking about Welsh leaf patterns): they is no double outline, it’s more like echo quilting. I would really like to know what experts like Lilian would say.Andreahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12696241343855169123noreply@blogger.com
