This printed cotton hexagon coverlet was made sometime between 1780 and 1820 - the quilt maker is unknown. The quilt was hand sewn and "pieced over papers" (English paper piecing!). The hexagons were fussy cut with fabrics dating from the late 18th and early 19th centuries. Fabrics and colors have been arranged into larger hexagonal shapes, with circles of one fabric radiating out from the center.
This was a paper quilt. The artist Bryony Watson says her work was inspired by the 1718 Silk Patchwork Coverlet (see Wednesday's post).

Day One we visited Windsor Castle!
We were a little late for the wedding...
We climbed the tower to the top! Or we "conquered the tower" as they said :). Nice views! You could only take pictures from certain vantage points at the top. The Queen does live here at times. I wouldn't want people taking pictures of my house from a tower either!
