The Ancient Mariner famously lamented “Water, water, every where, nor any drop to drink”. I find myself in a similar situation with quilts. I am surrounded by quilts in my studio but, for various reasons, am not in a position to share them online.

Instead I note that the next challenge theme for the Twelve by Twelve Collaborative Art Quilt Project is water. This is a 12 inch quilt that I made back in 2006 for the Quilters’ Guild of NSW Mini Marvels challenge. It forms part of my earthwaterfire triptych. 2+ years on and I still really like the quilt but I’m looking to do something different for this challenge.
