Coral Reef Ginger belongs to Cotton Beach, the Tilda collection inspired by the coast, shells and coral reefs. The print is dense and large in scale: a cream coral fan stands out against a warm orange ground, surrounded by pink and pale blue corals. It works best in pieces where it can stay wide – the centre of a quilt, the back of a cushion, a beach bag or a summer hat.
It sits easily next to the smaller prints in the collection and with plain fabrics in coral and teal shades. Pre-wash the fabric before cutting, so the slight shrinkage happens before you sew; if you need long strips or larger pieces, choose one of the bigger cuts.
