Delurking:
In a book I was looking in called Noble Lovers (forgive me I loaned it
to someone else and dont remmeber who wrote it) there were several
pictures from the 14th century of an Irish quilt depicting a king and
several knights. It appeared to be white and the stitching only in
black but it was definetly a quilt. I believe the same quilt is also
pictured in Henry McClintocks Old Irish Dress. I know this is only a
tidbit but I hope it helps:)
