Product Description
Leafy Olive from the Moody Hues Collection by Nancy Rink for Andover Fabrics
Elegant Leafy Vines in a Soft Olive Green
Leafy Olive is a graceful botanical quilting cotton featuring gently curving leafy branches scattered across a soft olive green background. Each vine is formed from small stylised leaves that cluster along slender stems, creating a flowing pattern that feels both natural and beautifully balanced. Tiny leaf sprigs appear between the branches, adding rhythm and movement to the overall design.
Printed in a slightly deeper olive tone, the tonal pattern offers subtle contrast while maintaining a calm and cohesive look. From a distance the design reads almost like a softly textured solid, while up close the delicate leaves and branching stems reveal charming detail. This makes Leafy Olive particularly useful in patchwork quilts where a gentle botanical print can support larger motifs without competing for attention.
The olive green palette brings an earthy warmth to quilt designs and pairs beautifully with golds, rusts, plums, and teals within the Moody Hues collection. Its medium-scale motif works wonderfully as a supporting fabric, yet still has enough presence to shine in blocks, borders, or larger patchwork pieces.
Leafy Olive is ideal for patchwork quilting, quilt borders, sashing, and background blocks where a refined botanical texture adds quiet visual interest. It also works beautifully for bag making, pouches, accessories, and home décor sewing projects where nature-inspired prints create warmth and softness.
Printed on high-quality 100% cotton quilting fabric with a weight of 145gsm, Leafy Olive offers a smooth handle and dependable structure suitable for both machine and hand sewing. Pair it with coordinating prints from the Moody Hues collection to create quilts and sewing projects that feel rich in colour, beautifully layered, and timeless in style.
