Solus Quilt
I've wanted to make a quilt of my daughter and myself for several years and finally got around to it during lockdown last summer. We had great fun taking and selecting a selfie to use. I did some playing around in Photoshop and sent it off to the printers. It's a whole cloth quilt, layered in the traditional way, and then densely quilted along the outlines Solus is the tilte of the piece and is the Irish word for light, and this wee beauty is one of the two lights that keep me going and brighten my world, every day.

I was very annoyed at the obvious joins in the piece and that's why I decided to do a whole cloth version, I do like the colours though.
