These  quilts, which will be 40ft long x 7ft high in total, and  double sided are being made to celebrate the 800 years since the signing of Magna Carta.  There will be 4 Medieval and 4 Contemporary Quilts, and  you can learn about the inspiration and some of the how-we-did- it from Paula Doyle, Alison Garner and the other ladies of the Magna Carta Quilt Association.

You can learn about the encaustic tiles each of which represents a letter of the alphabet and which will surround the quilt, and which will have a message from the 39^th Clause of Magna Carta which deals with human rights.

The quilts are being made for the Royal Holloway University art exhibition in the Windsor building of the Royal Holloway University,Egham Hill, Egham, Surrey TW20 0EX which will open on 14th June for the Magna Carta 800th anniversary festivities.

And there are plans in hand for the quilt to move around the country.
