612 ABC Community Quilt 1

The 612 ABC Community Quilts 1 and 2 were devised by Chris Welsh, Tricia Duffield and Paul Bodington and made possible by the generous and creative contributions of listeners to the 612 ABC Breakfast show hosted by Tricia.

Each block depicts how the contributor sees their Brisbane suburb or South East Queensland region. On Quilt 1 the blocks were laid out to correspond with a map of South East Queensland, were pieced into a quilt top by members of Queensland Quilters. I machine quilted and completed the quilt.

The blocks reflect the community spirit of the individual contributors, many of whom gathered together in groups to create their block. The quilts themselves are a reflection of this individuality, and the diversity of southeast Queensland.
