Product Description
Foliage Green from the The Nutcracker Collection by Makower UK
Winter Botanicals Against a Rich Evergreen Ground
Foliage Green from The Nutcracker Collection by Makower UK brings traditional Christmas greenery to a deep evergreen background, creating a rich botanical print with plenty of detail. Scattered holly sprigs, bright red berries, leafy branches and poinsettia-style flowers are joined by delicate stems in varied shades of green. Small touches of pale blue, soft pink and cream lighten the design, while the vivid red accents stand out beautifully against the dark green ground. The motifs are arranged with comfortable space between them, giving this festive print an open, balanced feel despite its deeper colouring.
This versatile green Christmas quilting fabric works particularly well where a project needs depth and contrast. Use it within patchwork blocks, borders and larger areas of a quilt, or combine it with lighter fabrics to create definition between sections. The small botanical motifs also make it suitable for fussy cutting and smaller-scale piecing. Beyond quilts, Foliage Green is a lovely choice for Christmas stockings, table runners, placemats, fabric baskets, tree skirts, cushions and advent calendars, as well as tote bags, project bags, zipper pouches and handmade festive accessories.
The winter foliage connects naturally with the traditional storybook character of The Nutcracker Collection while offering a design that can also sit comfortably beyond overtly novelty Christmas sewing. Pair it with Foliage Cream to carry the same botanical motif between light and dark areas of a project, or combine it with the collection's candy cane stripes, character prints and coordinating blenders. Reds, creams and softer greens will bring out its traditional Christmas palette, while pale blue or pink coordinates can highlight the more delicate details within the print.
Made from 100% cotton with a weight of approximately 145gsm, Foliage Green is suitable for patchwork and quilting, home décor sewing, bag making, accessories, general crafts and textile arts. For projects calling for dark green Christmas quilting fabric, holly and berry cotton fabric UK or festive botanical quilting cotton, this richly coloured print offers an adaptable choice for seasonal sewing.
