Noel Taupe belongs to Merry Little Christmas, the Tilda Christmas collection with a soft, nostalgic vintage feel and a hint of Nordic style. It is one of the blenders: the roses and trailing stems repeat in a small, even rhythm, so the fabric sits quietly beside the larger prints of the collection.
The taupe ground makes it less predictable than the usual Christmas reds and greens, and easy to use all year round. It cuts neatly into squares and strips for quilt blocks, and works just as well for cushions, gift bags, stockings, dolls and sewn decorations. Pre-wash before cutting, so the small amount of shrinkage happens before you sew.
