A Millennial Celebration" |
"Squishies Down Under"
machine pieced
Quiltmaker: Chris Cotton
Artist's Statement: "My Y2K quilt is my own design, because it was going to the Houston Festival
I needed
something very Aussie.
After a few photo-copies and laying a map of Australia over a grid my quilt
was born.
It was like I was possessed night after night of sewing little squares
together .
In 2 weeks it was done. A colour-wash, each state a different colour.
My dream was a reality.
This quilt is a colour wash map of mainland Australia. I
had to leave out Tasmania, an island at the bottom of Australia. I wanted to only use swapped fabric,
and I ran out of blue for the water.
