Product Description
Iron from the Glaze III by Libs Elliot for Andover Fabrics
Industrial grey with modern speckled detail
Iron from the Glaze III collection by Libs Elliot for Andover Fabrics presents a strong mid-grey base enhanced with tonal brush textures and scattered dark speckles. The layered design reflects the look of weathered steel or stone, giving the fabric a resilient, industrial-inspired character. Its contemporary surface design makes it a versatile choice for quilters and makers seeking a neutral that adds more than just background value—Iron brings structure, balance, and texture to a wide range of creative projects.
For patchwork and quilting, Iron works beautifully as sashing, borders, or block backgrounds, lending definition to lighter fabrics while harmonising with darker tones. It adds a modern edge to geometric quilts, improv piecing, or low-volume projects where subtle movement enhances the overall design. In home décor, Iron offers understated sophistication for cushions, runners, or wall hangings, blending seamlessly into contemporary interiors. Bag makers will also value its cool grey tone, which provides a practical, stylish base for everyday totes, pouches, or structured accessories.
Made from 100% cotton and measuring 44”/112cm wide with a medium weight of 145gsm, Iron is smooth, durable, and easy to handle whether sewn by hand or machine. It coordinates effortlessly with other fabrics from the Glaze III range—pair with lighter shades such as Cream and Milkglass for contrast, or combine with darker tones like Seal and Ink for a moody, layered palette. With its industrial grey depth and modern texture, Iron is a reliable and adaptable quilting cotton for patchwork, décor, bag making, and textile art.
