- Large, rectangular, English paper pieced quilt made from scraps of silk. The quilt centres around a repeated eight pointed star pattern. These stars are linked with squares of fabric hand embroidered with a border of herringbon stitches.
The quilt is faced with a panel of a red wool blend fabric and backed with a large panel of bottle green wool. The border of this join is edged with piping.
A panel has been stitched to the back of the quilt. Hand embroidered text on this panel records the fact that the quilt was originally made by the actess Fanny Stirling, who later gave it to Mrs. Calverley Bewicke. Bewicke then presented the quilt to Lilian Bayliss.
The patches of silk all have different patterns, weaves and textures, they are said to have been assembled from scraps of Stirling's stage costumes. (en)
- Patchwork quilt, embroidered and made by Mrs Fanny Stirling, the Victorian actress, from pieces of her stage costumes. Once owned by Lilian Baylis and used by Laurence Olivier in 1937. (en)
