Yvette pieced this panel using her collection of Oakshott fabrics and the odd bit of gold lamé. It is a simple but striking design of bordered squares. The deep colours are like those often to be seen in a dramatic Scottish sunset. I decided to quilt double overlapping circles on this regular, geometric piece forming the traditional pumpkin seed or wine glass design. Some circles have been highlighted with a berry coloured paint to make them stand apart from the rest. The idea of squares and circles reminded me of the formations in some Scottish folk dances so I decided to name it “Petronella," after one of the wild reels.
