Australia has been suffering a drought in most places that are prone to drought for years now so I named this Quilt "Drought has come to the Coast"I attended another dyeing workshop in Bundaberg and somehow chose turquoise as my blue colour . I ended up with an electric combination of colours. I continued experimenting with format etc for this quilt . I wanted some of the connector strips to stand out in places with others blending.
This quilt reminded me of the red soil areas around Gayndah where I spent quilte a few holidays as a child on my relatives peanut/ grain farm getting very dirty.
I entered this quilt in the Australian Quilt Show in 2006. It is a lot smaller than the previous connector quilts I have shown.
A good size for a one day workshop. You only need a fat eighth for most fabrics and a skinny quarter for the border pieces.
