Product Description
Glacier Rhyolite from the Heima by Gudrun Erla for Andover Fabrics
Dark rhyolite rock texture with glacial depth
Glacier Rhyolite captures the fractured beauty of Iceland’s volcanic terrain—shards of charcoal, slate and deep plum layered like river-washed stones beneath clear water. The small-to-medium scale texture reads as a refined near-solid, giving quilts quiet movement without stealing focus. Subtle mauve undertones warm the grey, making this print an adaptable dark neutral for modern piecing and traditional blocks alike. True to Heima—a collection rooted in the textures and colours of home—this design echoes rhyolite outcrops and glacial gravel, lending geological interest to backgrounds, borders and bindings. As a dark neutral quilting cotton, it offers excellent contrast against low-volume lights and pairs naturally with the collection’s glacier blues, moss greens, basalt greys and currant reds.
Use Glacier Rhyolite for sophisticated quilt frames, tonal sashing that tidies mixed palettes, or dramatic negative space in contemporary layouts. In home décor sewing, it’s a grounded choice for cushions, table runners, placemats and fabric storage where a resilient, textured look is preferred. Bag makers will appreciate how the motif wraps cleanly around curves and complements metal hardware—ideal for project pouches, dopp kits and structured totes. Printed on premium 100% cotton, width 44"/112cm, weight 145gsm, it sews smoothly, presses crisply and suits both machine and hand quilting. For cohesive results, team with other Heima prints—try icy blues for cool contrast, mossy greens for an earthy palette, or berry reds for a confident accent. Naturally integrated long-tail phrases include: dark neutral quilting cotton, charcoal purple cotton print UK, Iceland-inspired quilting fabric, textured blender for patchwork, geological rock texture fabric for bags and home décor.
