Product Description
Hop in Sky from the Alabaster Hues by Vanessa Lillrose & Linda Fitch for Robert Kaufman
Airy sky blue dots with a soft, playful rhythm
Hop in Sky brings a light, uplifting feel to the Alabaster Hues collection, featuring evenly spaced clusters of tiny floral dots scattered across a gentle sky blue ground. The motif feels playful yet refined, with each dot formed from delicate petal-like marks that add texture and interest without visual weight. The overall effect is calm and balanced, making this print an easy and versatile addition to a wide range of sewing projects.
The sky blue background is fresh and soft rather than bold, offering a cool, airy tone that works beautifully as a low-volume colour. This makes Hop in Sky an excellent choice for quilt backgrounds, secondary blocks, sashing, and borders where a hint of colour helps define a layout without overpowering it. The regular dot spacing brings a gentle structure to patchwork designs, pairing especially well with florals, textured blenders, and other prints from the collection.
For home décor sewing, this dotted quilting cotton lends itself well to cushions, table runners, fabric storage, and soft furnishings where a light, cheerful pattern adds charm without dominating a space. In bag making and accessories, Hop in Sky works equally well for linings or exteriors, offering a clean, contemporary look for project bags, zip pouches, and tote bags.
Printed on 100% cotton with a weight of 145gsm, Hop in Sky has a smooth, stable hand that is well suited to precision piecing, applique, and general craft sewing. Designed by Vanessa Lillrose & Linda Fitch for Robert Kaufman, it coordinates effortlessly with the rest of the Alabaster Hues collection. Pair it with soft whites, mint greens, lavender tones, or warmer blush prints from the range to create layered quilts and sewing projects that feel fresh, cohesive, and thoughtfully composed.
