The Ted Dexter Cricket Quilt

Background

30/03/2004 - The wall hanging is made of over 600 patchwork pieces. These were cut using the most interesting parts of the silk ties from Ted Dexter's illustrious cricketing career. The design is an off-centre Log Cabin which creates a circular effect even though only straight pieces were used (I like to think of the circles as cricket balls.) Auctioned for The Lord’s Taverners' Charity in December 2005. .
