London Holly

Linda Frost, London Holly, 2011

Linda used prints from my Lately Arrived From London collection: two prints in the muslin white colorway for the focus, background and border in this quilt.

The Peace & Plenty

She cut the flowers and border pillar from this large-scale print.

The Schooner Minerva

And the background from this smaller stripe

She writes:
"This quilt was inspired by Alma Allen and Barb Adams's quilt "Autumn Ambience" that was published in the Oct. 2006 issue of American Patchwork and Quilting. Their quilt had three appliqued blocks, not two, and the applique was a cone shaped basket with several different flowers and leaves along with the holly."

A good reason to save old magazines.
