Bush Flora Blocks 7, 8 from Virtual Quilter

Pale and pretty!

The colours in these designs are more like an English country garden than the colours found in much of the Australian bush.

The shapes are based on Australian native flowers, but the colours have been softened to pretty pastels. A lot of our native flora are bright red, orange and yellow and often have very dark green or rather grey foliage, but there are some with pretty colour variations in contrast to the bright strong colours.

Brook Bottlebrush 9, 10 from Virtual Quilter

Love the combination of subdued pieced blocks and strong contrast applique.

Wattle, Gum and Banksia 3, 4 from Virtual Quilter

‘Tis the season for wattles to flower, and hay fever to spread across the nation.

Love the flowers, the sneezing not so much.

However, as inspiration for quilts they are just that, inspirational, and in this form they don’t make me sneeze.
