Dottie Dots Grey

Dottie Dots Grey belongs to the Tilda Classics range, the designs that stay in the catalogue and work with every collection. Large taupe-grey circles scattered with tiny white dots make an even, quiet print that suits generous areas: quilt backings, cushion covers, bags, curtains and aprons.

It is a useful neutral, giving busier prints room to breathe in patchwork blocks, and it sits happily with the soft pinks and greens typical of Tilda. As this cotton shrinks noticeably, wash and press it before cutting. If you want the circles to show whole across a panel, choose one of the larger cuts.
