Celeste Blue

Celeste Blue belongs to Something Blue, the Tilda collection born from Tone Finnanger's love of blue and white pottery. The print is dense and small-scale: trailing white flowers running diagonally across a medium blue ground, with the look of an old hand-printed cloth.

The maker lists it among the collection's blenders, the supporting prints: it works beautifully in the smaller patches of a quilt, in borders, cushion backs and linings, where it sits alongside the larger designs without competing with them. It also suits dolls and sewn decorations. Pre-wash the fabric before cutting, so that the slight shrinkage happens before you sew.
