History

The mini-quilt was made for the 2015 Australian Quilt Convention (AQC) ‘Lest We Forget Quilt Challenge – 100 Years, 100 Quilts’. The quilts were hung together as a mosaic, premiering at AQC and then toured the 2015 Australian Craft Camp; Quilt Fairs. Upon return to the maker, the quilt was offered to Merredin Military Museum, and was accepted enthusiastically. It is now hanging in the museum, framed and protected by glass!

Description
