I wrote a while back about the upcoming quilt exhibit in 2010 at the Victoria & Albert Museum in London, UK.
Here is more info that was put on their site about it: http://www.vam.ac.uk/exhibitions/future_exhibs/Quilts/

FUTURE EXHIBITIONS at the Victoria and Albert Museum, U.K.
Quilts
20 March – 18 July 2010
This exhibition will showcase the V&A’s collection of patchwork and quilted covers to bring together over 300 years of British quilting history, from the spectacular bed hangings and silk coverlets of the 18th century, to the creative reinvention of the quilt by contemporary artists.

If you’re planning a trip to U.K. during the exhibit, you’ll want to get to the V & A Museum!
