Road to Colour

Photos from the 'Road to Colour' Exhibition at the Hamilton Craft and Quilt Fair.

The Road to Colour is made up of a group of traditional and contemporary quilters who meet four times a year. Their focus is working with colour.

I loved the black and white prints as background and large florals as centre pieces.
