Scraps of Australia
MARGARET ROLFE, CURTIN, ACT


Cotton fabrics; cotton batting.
Machine piecing, machine quilting.
176 cm H x 178 cm W


This quilt results from my collection of Australian fabrics. It records Australia over the past century — the environment, flora and fauna, buildings and events, brand names, and the art of our indigenous people. The quilt should be a journey for the viewer, each patch representing an aspect of Australian life.
