Publishers Description: This groundbreaking book documents the fascinating history of quilt and patchwork production in Britain. The hidden histories and personal narratives of some of the most evocative objects in the V&As collection are revealed, from the origins of the love poem on the Chapman marriage coverlet to the sources of inspiration for the intricately pieced pictorial George III coverlet. Originally published to accompany a wildly popular V&A exhibition, this lavishly illustrated book presents quilt-making as much more than craft.
