Duck Nest Red belongs to Jubilee, the collection with which Tilda celebrates 25 years by gathering festive designs from across the years. Here the ducks face each other in pairs among flowering trees and berries, with a symmetry reminiscent of old wallpapers: a medium-scale print that cuts easily into squares and triangles without losing the design.
The bright red suits Christmas sewing and new-baby gifts, as well as cushions, bags, throws and the fabric dolls and animals Tilda is known for. It pairs well with cream, blue and yellow solids from the same colour family. Pre-wash the fabric before cutting, so that the slight shrinkage happens before you sew.
