This quilt was mad as part of the UK Contedmporary Quilters Challenge 'In Print'.  It is based on the poem of the same name by William Wordsworth which was written in 1802 and printed a few years later. Despite being written over 200 hundred years ago the poem is stll relevant.  On the surface it is a paean to the city.  A dig under the surface reveals rather a critique of the sity where all is show.  As words have different meanings so I have written/quilted them in different styles.

This started out as a piece of white fabric which I I pained and sprayed.  The rest is appliqed and overpainted or just painted.
