Australia Day Quilts
Australia Day is January 26.
Koala Friends - I got the inspiration for this quilt from an adult colouring in book. We do not have koalas in Tasmania (apart from in wildlife parks) but they are so cute.
The 'Tasmania' quilt is made up of 6 inch 'crazy' blocks done in varying shades of green fabrics. The crazy blocks are joined together, the Tasmania outline is cut out and then fused onto a background fabric.
I had so much fun making the Tasmania Quilt so I thought I would make an Australia Quilt to go with it. The Australia Quilt is done in the same manner. This quilt is called 'I Love a Sunburnt Country'.
These quilts are now hanging in a local arts and crafts gallery during January.
