A Bespoke Gentleman Explorer Double Patchwork Quilt – Made To Order, Lisa WThis Bespoke Double Gentleman Explorer Quilt, £475, inspired by the British explorer Ernest Shackleton is 100% British made with fabrics carefully chosen to reflect the age and times that Shackleton, encountered and inspired. The top of the quilt is Harris Tweed made from 100% wool. This is hardwearing fabric woven in Harris on the Outer Hebrides in Scotland, so the flecks of colour and weaves of the tweed fit in perfectly with the rugged landscape of Antartica where Shackleton and his men survived their epic adventure. The back of this Gentleman Explorer Quilt includes durable corduroy in just the right gents trousers shade encircled with utilitarian fabrics from Ian Mankin. This Gentleman Explorer Quilt fits a double bed comfortably at 200 by 150cm and can be yours for just £475. Please note: I make these unique quilts to order, so as with my commissions I say it takes 6-8 weeks to stitch a quilt from time of ordering. If you wish your own bespoke & unique Harris Tweed patchwork quilt, just click the link or e-mail me at lisawatso@outlook.com with your initial ideas and we can take it from there. I look forward to hearing from you.
