Berlin-based illustrator Katrin Rodegast created this surreal appliqué quilt to represent “social reality.” Slightly bizarre — but appealingly intricate and colorful — the piece deftly combines folk art tradition with popular culture and digital technology.
Featuring a sometimes lovely, sometimes gruesome iconography, the printed cotton quilt is one of the first textile pieces by the artist who offers her quilts by commission. Visit Katrin Rodegast's website to see more of her work.

holy crap, that would be difficult to make. well done. i can't imagine how many hours she spent doing the applique.
Stunning!
I don't care what side of the debate you're on, why would anybody make a quilt with a depiction of an abortion taking place (image 4)?
Wow! I am pretty sure this is a Lost quilt!
I dont see an abortion...stem cell retrieval, maybe??
Or human cloning?? Not too sure but this quilt is awesome.
This is awe-inspiring.
Abortion is a bit of a reach. It looks like all technology/science/modern related images. And it is incredible.
This is genius! While this isn't what I'm looking for to keep me warm at night - it is a beautiful piece of art.
78x98 inches. I was wondering how she was able to put so much detail on it. It's great! The cyborg face top center is a little off-putting though.
