Native Nursery by Elise Martinson features sleeping Australian baby animals, native florals and soft storybook illustrations designed for nursery sewing. The collection combines nursery quilt panels with coordinating Floral Birds prints and an Animal Squares panel, making it easy to create matching handmade projects.
The collection includes nursery quilt panels featuring a koala, wombat, kangaroo, dingo and Tasmanian devil. Coordinating Floral Birds prints and an Animal Squares panel make it easy to create quilts, cushions, nursery décor and handmade gifts using fabrics from the same range.
Australian Animal Nursery Quilt Panels
Each feature panel centres on a sleeping Australian animal surrounded by flowers, foliage and smaller illustrated details. The designs provide a ready-made centre for a cot quilt without requiring complicated patchwork.
You can keep the animal artwork as the main feature, then add simple borders, patchwork blocks or coordinating prints to adjust the finished quilt size. The panels can also be used for wall hangings, cushions, playmats and other nursery projects.

Native Nursery Animal Squares Panel
The Animal Squares panel features four sleeping Australian animals framed by floral wreaths. The wombat, koala, dingo and kangaroo designs are presented as individual blocks on coordinating pastel backgrounds.
The squares can be kept together as a small quilt panel or cut apart for patchwork blocks, cushions, bags, bunting and nursery wall décor. Individual squares can also be used as pockets or feature sections within a larger sewing project.
Coordinating Floral Birds Fabrics
The Floral Birds fabrics feature native flowers, butterflies and small birds across blush pink, mint, butter yellow, soft blue and lavender backgrounds.
These coordinating prints can be used for quilt borders, patchwork, binding and matching nursery accessories. They also work well for cushions, bags, selected children's clothing and other handmade projects.
