elizplummer Hidden Life - I made this quilt as my final piece of work for my City & Guilds Patchwork & Quilting course. The idea for this design came from watching the BBC Natural World programme where crocodiles had been found in the Sahara desert, even though it was dry for most of the year. I used the pictures from Michael Palin’s website based on his book Inside Sahara as my design source for the desert images. The blue represents the river Nile where many crocodiles live and where they used to be worshipped as gods in ancient Egypt. It contains handdyed and commercial fabrics, foundation piecing, layering and slashing and free motion quilting.
