Product Description
Dance in Sunshine from the Alabaster Hues by Vanessa Lillrose & Linda Fitch for Robert Kaufman
Radiant white florals drifting across a soft sunshine-yellow ground
Dance in Sunshine brings warmth and gentle brightness to the Alabaster Hues collection, featuring delicate white floral motifs layered over a soft, sunlit yellow background. The hand-drawn blooms and elongated leaves overlap organically, creating a sense of movement and lightness while maintaining the refined, low-volume aesthetic that defines the collection.
This colourway is ideal for patchwork and quilting projects that call for a touch of warmth without overwhelming surrounding fabrics. Use Dance in Sunshine to lift a colour palette in quilt blocks, borders, or sashing, or let it take centre stage in cheerful spring and summer quilts. The balanced contrast between the white florals and the pale yellow ground ensures the print reads clearly while remaining soft and versatile.
For home décor sewing, this fabric lends itself beautifully to cushions, table runners, nursery accessories, and lightweight curtains, adding a fresh, optimistic feel to interiors. In bag making and accessories, it works well as both an exterior fabric and a coordinating lining, bringing subtle pattern and warmth to everyday projects. Its floral design also makes it a lovely choice for general craft sewing and textile art pieces.
Printed on smooth 100% cotton with a weight of 145gsm, Dance in Sunshine is easy to cut, piece, and sew, offering excellent stability for both detailed patchwork and larger sewing projects. Designed by Vanessa Lillrose & Linda Fitch for Robert Kaufman, it pairs effortlessly with other prints and blenders from the Alabaster Hues collection. Combine it with soft whites, mints, sky blues, or peach tones from the range to create cohesive quilts and sewing projects that feel light-filled, balanced, and thoughtfully curated.
