Two potential sites of the battle!

693 Caerlon
Perhaps one of Arthur's capitals, a battlefield and much, much more!  This design features the solid walls of a "Roman" fortress, the roads that crossed the surrounding countryside and more.  Easy to do and with spaces to display your favorite quilting motifs.


691 Gaheris
One of the stalwart knights of the Round Table and one of the "Orkney Brothers".  A wonderful design in any color combination and setting.

 

 


692 Accolon
Accolon de Gaul, the lover of Morgan le Fay and the challenger to Arthur with the stolen Excalibur!  A lovely design in any color combination and very dimensional.


259 Mordred
A simple and beautiful design for framing or any project a quilter can dream up.

 

 

 

 

695 Tristan
The love affair that preceded Camelot!  Tristan and Isolt!  This block  is a charmer with easy to do seams so that quilters may concentrate on color combinations and settings. 


260 Lancelot
This is a great design for quilters of all skill levels!  Fast and easy, the block does have secondary designs should quilters not want to emphasize the small hearts.

 

 

 

261 Gawaine
A lovely block with dimensional stars, lattice and other secondary designs.  It works in any color combination and setting.

 

548 Sir Cei
Named for the stalwart and true Knight of Camelot -- this block performs!

 

 

100 Camelot Roads
Fast and fun and oh! the settings you can come up with this one!  Great over all designs and secondary effects too!

 

564 Castle Chambers
A wonderful design that even novice quilters will enjoy!  Great in any setting or color combination.

 

 

 


 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 


Nennius and others state that Arthur's first battle was at the mouth of the river called Glein.   This has been tentatively identified as one of the two Rivers Glen in Britain today, one in Lincolnshire and one in Northumberland. Unfortunately, Glen stems from the Celtic for "pure", so there were probably many rivers thus named in 6th century Britain. A battle at the former would have presumably been against the first Bernician settlers and at the latter against the northward moving East Anglians. Either could be attributed to King Arthuis of the Pennines.
