Product Description
Basalt from the Spritz by Andover Fabrics
Deep charcoal tones with a refined, softly scattered dot texture
Basalt from the Spritz collection by Andover Fabrics delivers a rich, grounding charcoal tone enhanced by a finely dispersed constellation of tiny dots. These delicate dots gather into soft clusters before fading into the background, creating a subtle, diffused texture that adds depth and quiet movement. The effect is sophisticated and understated, making this fabric an essential blender for adding contrast and balance within a wide range of designs.
This dark grey quilting cotton is ideal for anchoring patchwork quilts, providing a strong yet refined foundation that allows lighter fabrics and brighter colours to stand out. Its deep, neutral shade works beautifully in modern quilts, monochrome designs, and contemporary colour palettes, while also offering a striking contrast in traditional patchwork. Use Basalt as a background fabric, sashing, borders, or as a tonal filler within blocks to create definition and cohesion. It is equally well suited to home décor sewing, including cushions, table runners, and accessories, as well as bag making projects where a durable, darker fabric with subtle texture is both practical and stylish.
Made from 100% cotton with a weight of approximately 145gsm, this fabric provides a smooth, stable surface that is easy to cut, sew, and press. It holds its shape well, making it suitable for precise piecing and a wide range of sewing applications. Pair Basalt with other fabrics from the Spritz collection to build a cohesive palette with strong contrast, or combine it with complementary blenders and prints to create layered designs full of depth, texture, and modern elegance.
