Darwin Patchworkers & Quilters Inc. : Challenge

Quilters around Australia are being invited to make a quilt that reflects their memories of the devastation of Darwin when Cyclone Tracy unleashed her destructive force on Christmas Eve 1974.

Participants in the challenge need not have lived in Darwin at the time nor experienced the Cyclone, but will have perhaps remembered it through media and other's accounts.

Any technique or combination of techniques can be utilised.
