Mable Warm Cream

Mable Warm Cream belongs to Village Life, the Tilda collection that looks back to old wallpapers and pretty vintage dresses. Roses and tiny flowers sit inside leafy wreaths that repeat evenly across the cream ground: a small, tidy print that works well over large areas without tiring the eye.

It makes a quiet background for the bolder prints in the collection, in the autumn palette of rust, ochre and greens: good for quilt blocks and backings, cushions, drawstring bags, pouches, and for the bodies or dresses of Tilda dolls. Pre-wash before cutting, so the slight shrinkage happens before you sew; choose one of the larger cuts if you need long strips.
