Dr Nick’s Quilt
I wanted to make my nephew a quilt to celebrate his graduation from University after becoming a doctor. I chose the Native Sun fabric range for the squares on the front. I thought the teal and lavender would calm the bright fabrics a little so used them In the 4 patches. Nick is very interested In Indigenous health so this range seemed appropriate. He also loves bright colours and had a particular liking for butterflies as a child. I chose Kaffe Fassett orange with purple dots for the back and used the teal and lavender to tie the front and back together. As he is a doctor, I decided to use a fancy stitch on the binding that looked like the readout on a heart monitor. We are so proud of this you g man who lost his dad to cancer during his studies. Hope he realises how much he is loved and admired.
