Courtesy of Fine Cell Work, I helped out at the V & A's launch evening of the HMP Wandsworth quilt commission as part of their seminal 'Quilts 1700-2010' show. Fine Cell Work are a charity who teach and promotote needlework as rehabilitative practice to prison inmates. The above quilt was designed and constructed entirely by men from Wandsworth prison, the unusual structure derived from the hexagonal shape of the prison building itself. It's brilliant what they do. Go see!
