When we arrived at our family accommodation at San Francisco, the guest bed was made up with a different quilt. Gone were the suffolk puffs from vintage scraps. In its place was a rose applique quilt with big stitch quilting made by one of the Laundry King’s aunts:
Here’s a close up:
One of my friends seems to think this may be a kit design from the 1950s. If you have any insights, please leave a comment. In the meantime, sleeping under a pink quilt helps me get into a pink groove for the first Twelve by Twelve Colourplay reveal on 12 December (US time) when our pink-inspired works will appear online.

That is very similar to one that I found at a flea market and consequently finished. The style of the rose is the same. You can see it here: http://www.picturetrail.com/sfx/album/view/3677542
