Product Description
Happy Paws - Spots by Nutex
Playful bursts of colour on a bold black ground
Happy Paws - Spots by Nutex is a cheerful, graphic cotton print that brings instant energy to sewing projects. Set on a deep black background, this design features a lively scatter of polka dots in bright, saturated shades of turquoise, sunshine yellow, apple green, red, and orange. The dots vary in size, creating a sense of movement and balance that feels playful without becoming overwhelming, making it a versatile coordinate within the Happy Paws collection.
The high-contrast palette gives this fabric excellent visual clarity, ideal for patchwork and quilting where definition matters. Use it as a feature fabric in modern quilts, as a lively border, or as sashing to add rhythm between more detailed prints. The spot pattern cuts cleanly into smaller pieces, making it especially useful for scrappy projects, half-square triangles, and block-based designs. When paired with character prints or stripes from the Happy Paws range, it helps tie colours together while keeping the overall look fun and cohesive.
Beyond quilting, Happy Paws - Spots is well suited to bag making and accessories. It works beautifully for tote bags, project bags, zip pouches, and linings, where the bold spots add personality and a modern edge. In home décor sewing, this cotton print can be used for cushions, table runners, pet accessories, storage baskets, or playful accents that bring colour into everyday spaces without feeling themed or seasonal.
Printed on 100% cotton with a smooth, easy-to-handle finish and a weight of 145gsm, this fabric is straightforward to cut, press, and sew. It offers enough body for structured projects while maintaining a soft drape for general craft sewing and textile arts. For a polished result, pair Happy Paws - Spots with coordinating solids or blenders, or mix it with stripes and novelty prints from the same Nutex collection, drawing out key colours such as teal, yellow, or red to create a balanced and lively finish.
