I went to the Applique Society at Castlemaine on Saturday with a couple of friends and the speaker for the day was a lady who had brought along her Great Aunt's Welsh Quilts. They were very old and some were well worn. I could see the wool batting showing through and it was rough and grey. It looked as if it was off the sheep's back. The first quilt was one she had made recently in a Welsh design. The other photos show the 'old' quilts which were each made with a single fabric. The quilting was outstanding and could be clearly seen on the plain fabric. I hope it shows up enough for you all to see. The edges had been turned in and stitched with a quilting stitch so there was no bindings.
