The Oldest Quilt in the World.... inspiration

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.
