I thought the Quilts exhibition was fantastic! As we went on a Saturday afternoon, it was rather busy - but not so much that we couldn't have a good look at the exhibits. I was amazed at the vibrant colours of the quilts made in the 18th and 19th centuries. There was also a modern quilt by Tracey Emin and another made by the inmates of HMP Wandsworth in 2009.Of course I couldn't resist picking up some (over priced - but this is the V&A!) fat quarters with prints taken from quilts made in the mid 19th century.
We then headed to the lovely cafe (the first museum cafe in the world!) for tea and cake before heading home.

I would love to get to that exhibition, it sounds so interesting.
I found your blog via "Tomato, To-mah-to": The Adventures of an American Girl in England and would just like to say how much i like it so far. I've gone back in time to your 2008 posts and thanks to you found another fabulous website Joules...Thank you :0)
