The Waratah quilt made with beautiful oranges and browns. It is quilted with variegated cotton in yellows and oranges, close up later on.
The size of the quilt is 88 x 88 inches, the block sizes are 15 inch. Because of the size of the quilt blocks, this project was easy to sew and complete in no time at all. The big waratah fabric is one huge 15 inch block, the other block is made up of three different fabrics, orange, light green and another with a border, sewn to the same size at 15 inch. All the flowers found in the fabric are Australian natives and quite beautiful with highlights of gold. The light colour is cream with gold filigree pattern on it.
The main fabric for this is quilt, it from Robert Kaufman fabric, Under the Australian Sun.
The actual quilting is of a waratah design in a multicoloured gold, yellow, orange thread and the backing fabric is dark brown. It looks fantastic, the light coloured thread on the dark fabric contrasts just beautifully. My quilting lady Donna from Boutique Quilting did a great job and provided me with the waratah quilt design as I requested.
