Description:
Mark L. Sherman saw an image on the cover of a book in a museum shop and wanted to make a quilt based on that image. It turns out it was a page from the Book of Kells. Mark had to get special permission from Trinity College in Dublin, Ireland, to make the quilt. It took him six years and a jeweler's loupe to complete it.
