The Pancakes, Butter And Syrup Quilt With Bacon Rug – first exhibited in 1976 at the Museum of Contemporary Crafts in New York (now the Museum of Arts And Design) by UK artist Ros Cross:

“The pancakes quilt was my response to the onslaught of American food (huge proportions) upon my arrival from the UK in 1973′

The original (above) was sold recently. It’s probably just a matter of time before the replication rights are acquired on account of (a) the internet and (b) the ‘want’ being strong with this one.
