Product Description
Gingham Blue from the Petite Fleur by Makower UK
Crisp blue checks with a calm, timeless character
Gingham Blue is a classic small-scale check that brings cool clarity and dependable structure to the Petite Fleur collection by Makower UK. Featuring a finely balanced gingham pattern in soft mid-blue and white, this fabric has a fresh, clean appearance that feels both traditional and versatile. The gentle contrast keeps the design light and approachable, making it an easy coordinating print across a wide range of sewing styles.
In patchwork and quilting, this blue gingham quilting cotton works beautifully as a background or blender fabric. The regular check adds visual texture without distracting from more detailed prints, making it ideal for sashing, borders, binding, and pieced elements. Its cool blue tone offers a calming counterpoint to florals, helping to balance quilt designs while maintaining a cohesive, well-ordered look.
Gingham Blue is equally well suited to home décor sewing projects. It works particularly well for cushions, table runners, light curtains, and quilted accessories, where its crisp pattern introduces a sense of order and freshness. For bag making and accessories, the neat check brings a classic, tailored feel that pairs well with florals, stripes, or plain cottons, making it a reliable choice for tote bags, project bags, pouches, aprons, and storage items.
Printed on 100% cotton with a smooth handle and a quilting weight of 145gsm, this fabric is easy to cut, press, and sew by hand or machine. The clean gingham print supports accurate piecing and sharp finishes, making it suitable for patchwork, craft sewing, and textile art projects.
Designed to coordinate seamlessly with the Petite Fleur florals, vines, and stripes, Gingham Blue pairs beautifully with soft yellows, greens, creams, and other blue-accented prints from the collection. Whether used as a grounding fabric or a subtle feature, this blue gingham cotton adds balance, clarity, and timeless appeal to quilts and thoughtfully made sewing projects.
