The V&A's treasure chest of beautiful historic quilts, together with a selection of contemporary British quilts, some specially commissioned, will go on show in a major exhibition of nearly 100 quilts in spring 2010.  This is the first major exhibition of its kind at the V&A ranging from spectacular 17th century bed hangings and silk coverlets to recent reinventions of the quilt by artists such as Pauline Burbidge, Jo Budd, Grayson Perry and Tracy Emin.
 
Each quilt has a unique story to tell either personal or as a representation of broader historic themes such as consumerism, luxury, utility and creativity.  The exhibition will unravel some of these complex narratives.

Supported by the Friends of the V&A
