Inspired by quilt fabric
Where do you get your inspiration?
Fabric, quilt shows, patchwork books?
Ursula and I went to visit a (relatively) new patchwork shop near us, and she fell in love with a kit called "Precious Flowers". The kits were all gone in the colours Ursula loved, so we decided to find a big floral as a starting point for her own version.
The fabric which inspired her was a Robert Kaufman print by Leesa Chandler, called "Under the Australian Sun".
Although we started with the kit design, we wanted to showcase the wonderful fabric, so we had to find the entirs pattern section, and began working from there.
This is the largest piece in the quilt and shows the gorgeous fabric off.
I'll show you the quilt when it's done.
So where did Ursula's inspiration start?
First the Precious Flowers kit, then the Aussie fabric, and she has a one of a kind quilt.
