I just couldn't resist getting this fabric with all the colours from the London Underground tube lines! So simple, but absolutely fabulous as a backing fabric for any London or United Kingdom inspired quilt!
It is actually the back of a duvet cover! I got it at ASDA of all places. Unfortunately it's a poly cotton blend, and not 100% cotton.

If posting on Instagram please tag your post with #ukminiswapsent. When you receive, please post a photo adding #ukminiswapreceived and the maker's IG name.

A future UK Mini Swap? I have had a few asking when the next swap ...

( Instructions on UK Quilters United ) Art work display To avoid making wholes in the walls in our rental space, I made this art work display by using some hand printed charm squares.
