The Sun Never Sets/Commonwealth Lost

RobinQuilts The Sun Never Sets/Commonwealth Lost - I started this quilt in a workshop with Carol Taylor at the National Quilt Museum in May. It was great fun to learn new piecing techniques and we had a terrific group of quilters in the class. The title of the quilt comes from the embellishment trim which features a "coin" with Queen Elizabeth on it. I was reminded of the phrase "The sun never sets on the British Empire", but of course, it did.
