A gift of a quilt

Yesterday the Houston Quilt Show Party came for lunch and Marigold brought the quilt she has made for the Gift of Quilts project linked to the Olympic Games.
 A set number was required and that has now been reached and there will be a draw to ascertain which quilt will go where and there will be an exhibition too. The book (http://www.amazon.co.uk/Olympic-Games-Quilts-Americas-Welcome/dp/0848715055) of the quilts made for the Atlanta games  (http://www.planetpatchwork.com/oqfront.htm)   is one of my favourites so I shall try to go to this. Marigold does beautiful work and her quilt is pieced with batiks with appliques of London landmarks in Liberty lawn, all nicely detailed with machine quilting.
