Product Description
Fern Moss Alabaster from the Wildflower Cottage by Renee Nanneman for Andover Fabrics
Alabaster ground with fern-inspired lattice sprigs
Fern Moss Alabaster offers quiet elegance with its subtle neutral palette and delicate botanical repeat. A soft alabaster ground is patterned with tiny fern-like sprigs arranged in a diagonal lattice, creating a textured effect that feels both classic and understated. The design reads as a gentle blender from afar while revealing fine detail on closer inspection, making it highly versatile across patchwork, home décor and accessories. As part of Renee Nanneman’s Wildflower Cottage collection for Andover Fabrics, this print reflects the imagery of moss-covered cobblestones and trellised gardens, bringing cottage-inspired charm into sewing projects. In quilting, Fern Moss Alabaster is particularly effective as a background, sashing or block filler where subtle texture enhances without competing. It also works beautifully for quilt backings or bindings, offering interest while remaining neutral. In home décor, its alabaster tones are timeless and adaptable, perfect for table linens, cushion covers, curtains and lampshades, blending seamlessly with varied interiors. Bag makers will find its small-scale repeat excellent for linings, organisers and tote exteriors, where understated detail adds refinement. Seasonal projects—from springtime gifts to winter keepsakes—also benefit from its quiet charm. Made from 100% cotton at 145gsm, this fabric presses crisply, pieces with accuracy and quilts smoothly whether by hand or machine. Pair Fern Moss Alabaster with coordinating Wildflower Cottage fabrics: crimson reds and buttercup yellows bring brightness, while pewter greys and mocha browns provide depth and balance. Whether used as a subtle background or a gentle accent, this alabaster lattice floral quilting cotton delivers timeless versatility and elegance for all types of sewing projects.
