Cathy's Olympics 2012 Gamemaker Quilt

As we enjoy the 2024 Paris Olympics, it reminded me that Cathy recently brought me her quilt top which she had made to commemorate the London 2012 Olympics.  Cathy was a Games Maker in 2012, so the blocks all feature sports.  On the back of the quilt, Cathy sourced a duvet cover which featured the London Underground map to remind her of the trips she made each day to be part of the special events.  On this occasion, I strongly suggested putting a label on the back, so that generations to come would know how she was involved.

We tried to find an Olympic Rings pattern for the quilting, but nothing was quite right, so we settled with 'Nightlight' quilting pattern with lots of rings and stars.  12 years on and the quilt is complete.
