Product Description
Butterflies Cream from the Tropica by Makower UK Collection
Soft, whimsical butterflies on a warm cream backdrop
Butterflies Cream from the Tropica Collection by Makower UK offers a gentle, light-filled take on the group’s butterfly motif. Set on a warm cream background with a subtle dotted texture, colourful butterflies drift playfully across the fabric in shades of turquoise, pink, violet, fuchsia, and lilac. The combination of soft neutrals and bright, jewel-toned wings creates a beautifully balanced design that feels cheerful without overwhelming a project. Printed on premium 100% cotton at 145gsm and a width of 44"/112cm, Butterflies Cream is an excellent choice for quilting, home décor accents, children’s sewing, and delicate accessories. Quilters will enjoy using it for feature squares, borders, coordinated bundles, and gentle contrast fabrics within a bright patchwork palette. Its soft ground also makes it a versatile choice for low-volume piecing with a playful twist. In home décor projects, this print lends a light and uplifting touch to cushions, bunting, nursery makes, and decorative storage pieces. Bag makers will appreciate how the fine detailing of the butterflies translates beautifully to zipped pouches, lightweight totes, makeup bags, and soft linings that give handmade items a charming internal flourish. As part of the Tropica range, Butterflies Cream pairs effortlessly with its bold botanical companions, cool aqua prints, and coordinating stripes. Whether you prefer a gentle pastel-led scheme or a vibrant tropical mix, the collection offers plenty of supporting fabrics to build a cohesive look. Makers exploring long-tail search terms such as “cream butterfly quilting cotton UK,” “light background butterfly fabric,” or “children’s tropical cotton for sewing projects” will find this design a delightful, flexible option. Butterflies Cream captures the joyful movement and colour of tropical gardens while offering a softer, more versatile base for any quilting or craft project.
