Kuba quad patchwork quilt

Before she started making her larger-than-life quilts, Emily Campbell was a pattern maker for fashion designer Jean Muir. Her creations, which honour her love for fabric and print, are driven by the homespun quality of patchwork – a technique she calls “an ancient recycling system”. The Kuba Quad quilt in linen, cotton and silk features a palette inspired by traditional Congolese raffia appliqué, with a rhythmic arrangement of rectangles guided by 1960s relief artworks. A true labour of love, it takes one full week to come to fruition.
