WBH is a variation of a simple 5 bar strippy quilt with added flying geese blocks made from shot cottons and gold lamé. The colours were chosen to represent Scottish late summer hedgerow plants such as willowbay herb, foxglove, dog roses and brambles. Concentric circles and half circles wind their way down each strip. Tiny Celtic spirals were quilted freehand in some of the gaps inside the circles and in between some of the diagonal lines. Paint and machine embroidery stitching was carefully applied to enhance some of the rings.
