Here is a detail of The Intellect and Valour of Great Britain Intarsia Quilt made by Micahel Zumpf, which is currently on display at the International Quilt Study Center & Museum in Nebraska as part of the War and Pieced: The Annette Gero Collection of Quilts from Military Fabrics exhibit. 

This is a section of the border. The center of the quilt was taken from a print of a painting where they believe that the print served as the actual pattern. The scene depicts the House of Commons in London with a host of famous politicians. It is a reproduction of a painting by Thomas-Jones Barker. Click on the See the Zoom Quilt button to see the entire quilt.
