Super versatile cotton blender prints are the foundation of any quilting project. Quilt designs use blenders for sashing, backing and binding. By definition, they’re tone-on-tone small scale prints that read as a solid and coordinate with or accentuate larger focal prints. These basic prints come in a wide colour range making them great for all types of projects beyond quilts; like pillowcases, little dresses, crafts and more.
Colourful block patterns using blenders make for a fun and easy blanket project.
Soft, watery floral cotton prints inspired by romantic afternoons in a shady garden feature fresh tulips and poppies with a coordinating shadow vine and paintbrush texture. Pretty patterns for dresses, crafts and quilts.
Classic opal colours of mauve, periwinkle and blue are peaceful and pretty…
mint julep mixes green and turquoise blues for a refreshing combination…
and petal pinks mixed with peachy tones offer a sweet and innocent look.
