On Friday I did a patchwork workshop with Lorna Dakin.- I haven't done one in ages so I really enjoyed it. She calls this pattern New Orleans Beauty. We had to join one and a half inch strips of fabric together before the workshop, so we were able to finish the tops during the day. I used up some batiks from my stash and went outside my comfort zone with the colours I used. This picture subdues the colours a bit as they are brighter in the flesh! I have now backed, edged and quilted so it is now finished.
The picture below shows Lorna surrounded by the other ladies at the workshop together with their stunning quilts which will hopefully find their way into our next exhibition.

So clever, I love the effect. What a great workshop, do you have her contact details.
A very effective pattern.
