Here is a Welsh quilt with rather atypical quilting designs. The size is 70 x 82 inches and the stitching is of very good quality. Unfortunately, I was promised some further information about the quilt, which never arrived - various excuses - I never knew what happened and finally had to give up on it. However, the designs are of interest; the colour combination is the ever popular green and gold.
The outer borders are unusual for a Welsh quilt - they include swags plus a double scale or clamshell pattern infill.
There are more typical fans with some nice echo quilting.
The centre is formed by smaller swags, with diamond infill.
In the corner , you can see a striking leaf or fleur de lys. The colours in this photo are more lifelike - a strong green and a strong gold. It also shows the fine stitching.

The reverse of the quilt, in green. The yellow thread shows through nicely on this side.
A bit of a puzzle, this quilt, I only wish that I had received the details that were promised to me.
