The Red Patch quilt is finished. I have really enjoyed the fabric play for this quilt, combining the many different reds which all work together surprisingly well. This quilt also includes some fabrics by talented Australian designers, including Susie from FlowerPress, Kristen Doran, and Shannon Lamden from Aunty Cookie.
The back of the quilt features an amazing fabric by Saffron Craig, another great Australian fabric designer passionate about creating unique and contemporary fabrics. Printed in red and orange "Owls Nesting" works well on the back of this quilt, and not only makes an impressive and unique quilt back, but also makes this a truly reversible quilt.
This quilt has been quilted with simple straight vertical lines 1.5 inches apart and bound with a red and white stripe fabric. I have again chosen to use the 100% cotton batting as it gives the quilt a lovely drape and doesn't over emphasise the quilting, thereby allowing the fabrics to shine through.
I have updated my Etsy store to include this quilt.

Your quilts are such an inspiration ... and I agree the reds go together really well. I love how contemporary this looks.

I agree with Kate ... the backing fabric is an inspired choice.

So beautiful. I love everything about it!
This quilt is divine. I love it!
Especially the little square motifs spotted around the quilt.
Another stunning quilt and the back is divine!
What a beautiful quilt... I love the reds! I wouldn't have been brave enough to include different shades of red (the orangey reds with the maroony reds), but they look wonderful together!
I'm inspired!
I love this! Red is my favourite colour so this is especially pretty to me :) And the backing fabric is absolutely gorgeous!
Wow, I can't believe you did another quilt on such short notice. Love it very much as red is my very, very, very favorite color! Can I use a picture please, just to show on my web log?
I love how you've combined linen coloured fabric as well as white based fabric (hope this makes sense?) I've always been nervous to do this but it looks so amazing I'll have to give it a go!
Thanks,
Jane
swoon! I love the back of this quilt!!
Rita, this one is another beauty! I love all the reds and the backing fabric is just gorgeous!
Hello.
The quilt is really stunning. Like a lot of people here, I think red is just divine! Loving the backing fabric too...
Can I ask how big the squares/strips on the front are? I've been meaning to have a go at this sort of thing, but am still very new at it all!
Thanks!
How on earth do you find the time? You are such and inspiration to me. Thanks so much for sharing your work with us.
This makes me want to leave work right now, and go home and work on my quilt! It is stunning!
I don't know which I like better - the front or the back!

Great job! I love the fabulous owl fabric on the back! :)
Very Very Nice Quilt!

I love the fabrics in this one. I love the back as much as the front, it's stunning.

Hi, I love the Red Patch quilt. I am just starting to collect REDS for my stash in hopes of having enough to make a red quilt by next Christmas. I saved this particular post in the bloglines so I'd have a great example when time comes to get started! Thanks for sharing your work with us!
