Sicilian Tristan Quilt
Linen and Cotton
Late 14C
Victoria and Albert Museum, read about it HERE.
I love this quilt, it's like nothing I've ever seen before. It's apparently one section of a larger quilt, and had trapunto work. Imagine what a modern quilt would look like with this sort of detailed quilting in it. It boggles the mind.

I am loving it! Can't wait to see the finish. I have seen some beautiful hand-work but that one is amazing!
I'm picturing that bit of handwork in the center of a crazy quilt... too many projects so little time.
