Product Description
Foliage Cream from the The Nutcracker Collection by Makower UK
Delicate Winter Foliage on a Soft Cream Ground
Foliage Cream from The Nutcracker Collection by Makower UK scatters delicate sprigs of winter greenery and festive flowers across a warm cream background. Holly leaves and bright red berries mingle with leafy stems, tiny berry branches and poinsettia-style blooms, while touches of soft blue and blush pink bring an unexpected delicacy to the traditional red and green Christmas palette. The individual botanical motifs are generously spaced, giving the design an airy quality that allows each tiny sprig and flower to be appreciated.
The smaller scale and light background make Foliage Cream particularly useful for patchwork and quilting, where it can provide a gentle contrast to stronger colours and larger feature prints. Use it for quilt blocks, backgrounds, borders and sashing, or incorporate the individual botanical details into smaller piecing and fussy-cut designs. Its graceful winter foliage also lends itself beautifully to Christmas stockings, table runners, placemats, napkins, advent calendars, tree decorations and festive cushions. For bags and accessories, it would make a lovely choice for project bags, zipper pouches, fabric baskets and linings where a lighter seasonal print is called for.
Although distinctly festive, the botanical character gives this cream Christmas quilting fabric a softer feel than a conventional novelty print. Pair it with the reds and greens throughout The Nutcracker Collection for traditional Christmas sewing, or pick out the pale blue and pink details with coordinating blenders for a gentler colour story. Alongside the collection's Nutcracker characters, stripes and more decorative prints, Foliage Cream provides useful breathing space while keeping the overall design beautifully connected.
Made from 100% cotton with a weight of approximately 145gsm, Foliage Cream is suitable for patchwork and quilting, home décor, bag making, accessories, general craft sewing and textile arts. For projects calling for cream Christmas quilting fabric, holly and berry cotton fabric UK or delicate festive botanical fabric, this versatile print offers plenty of possibilities beyond the traditional Christmas quilt.
