Product Description
Checks - Fig from the Nest by Ghazal Razavi of Figo Fabrics for Northcott
Soft Plum Checks with a Calm, Contemporary Feel
Checks in Fig from the Nest collection by Ghazal Razavi for Figo Fabrics and Northcott is a beautifully understated cotton print featuring a delicate grid of tiny checks in soft fig purple and white. The refined scale and gentle contrast give this fabric a calm, versatile character that works effortlessly across quilting, home décor sewing, accessories, and creative textile projects. Printed in Japan on high-quality quilting cotton, this design combines precision detail with a soft, elegant colour palette.
The muted fig tones create a sophisticated alternative to traditional gingham or check fabrics, making it ideal for modern patchwork quilts, low-volume piecing, binding details, quilt backings, and coordinated sashing. The small-scale checked design also lends itself beautifully to bag linings, zip pouches, fabric baskets, table runners, and handmade accessories where a subtle texture-like print adds visual interest without overwhelming other fabrics in a project.
Inspired by themes of comfort, nesting, and quiet natural beauty, the Nest collection blends contemporary simplicity with warmth and softness. Checks in Fig pairs especially well with floral prints, nature-inspired motifs, and textured blenders from the wider collection, allowing you to create balanced patchwork palettes with depth and cohesion. The restrained pattern also makes it a useful blender fabric for scrappy quilts and layered textile compositions.
Made from 100% cotton with an approximate weight of 145gsm, this Japanese-printed quilting fabric is suitable for quilting, dressmaking accents, home décor sewing, and craft projects requiring a soft yet durable cotton fabric. Whether used as a subtle supporting print or as part of a tonal purple patchwork scheme, Checks in Fig offers timeless versatility with a modern, elegant finish.
