Quilts at the V&A

While I was in London I went to see the Quilts exhibition at the V&A. I didn't have a particular interest in the history of Quilts but it was such an interesting collection, I loved reading all the stories behind the creation of the various designs, some of them had amazing histories.


The quilt above was one of my favourites (Applique Bed cover, 1851). If you look closely there are so many quirky little animals hidden in the design, I especially like the squirrels near the middle at the top.
I also loved seeing the work of Natasha Kerr in the flesh, as I have studied her work before and love it!
