BOTANICAL ALBUM QUILT


The Botanical Album Quilt is a large, textile quilt of which the design is based on the traditional ‘album quilt’: quilts featuring elaborate patterns of flowers and petals. Instead of picturing the flowers themselves, this quilt lists the various symbolical meanings of these flowers. These meanings are found in the traditional etiquette of gifting flowers; a way of sending out a wordless message to a loved one by picking flowers that hold a certain meaning.
