Lauren Burgundy

Lauren Burgundy belongs to Wallflower, the Tilda collection that takes a romantic look at the decorative styles of the 1960s and 70s. The flowers cover the whole surface with no gaps, and the burgundy ground makes the cream, mustard and pale blue glow. It is a medium-scale print that still works when cut into small pieces, since the pattern reads as a whole.

It suits quilts in warm tones, cushions, bags, pouches and pencil cases, and makes a cheerful backing when you want a surprise on the reverse. It pairs easily with the red, pink and green solids from the same collection. Pre-wash before cutting, so the slight shrinkage happens before you sew.
