Joy Pine

Joy Pine belongs to Merry Little Christmas, the Tilda collection with a soft, nostalgic Christmas feel and the Nordic touch that runs through Tone Finnanger's festive designs. The pine green ground, scattered with white dots, sets off little bunches of pale roses – a print that works just as happily outside the Christmas season.

It is an easy fabric for quilt blocks, cushions, gift bags, stockings and hanging decorations, and it mixes with the other prints in the collection as well as with plain cream or soft pink cottons. Pre-wash the cut before sewing, so the slight shrinkage happens before you start. For borders and long strips, choose one of the larger cuts.
