Product Description
Lichen Icicle from the Heima by Gudrun Erla for Andover Fabrics
Pale icy-grey lichen texture for serene, low-volume contrast
Soft as rime on rock, Lichen Icicle layers near-white and pale dove grey with delicate, wandering tracery that recalls lichen across cooled lava. The motif is small and finely etched, giving a refined low-volume effect that reads almost solid from a distance while offering gentle movement up close. Rooted in the spirit of Heima—where Iceland’s landscape and the feeling of home are threaded together—this calm neutral balances the collection’s glacier blues, moss greens, basalt greys and warm berry reds. As a pale grey low-volume quilting cotton, it’s ideal for light backgrounds, quiet negative space and contrast that doesn’t shout, bringing a clean, Nordic clarity to modern piecing and traditional blocks alike. Naturally embedded search phrases include: pale grey low-volume quilting cotton, Scandi neutral cotton print UK, lichen texture blender fabric.
Use Lichen Icicle for sashing that tidies mixed palettes, borders that frame with subtlety or bindings that feel crisp without harsh contrast. In home décor sewing it’s effortless for cushions, table runners, placemats and fabric storage, delivering a fresh, white-on-white feel that sits well in contemporary interiors. Bag makers will appreciate how the fine pattern curves neatly around seams and pairs beautifully with silver, nickel or matte black hardware for pouches, organisers and structured totes. Printed on premium 100% cotton, width 44"/112cm, weight 145gsm, it sews smoothly, presses cleanly and suits both machine and hand quilting. For cohesive projects, combine with other Heima prints—try glacier blues for cool luminosity, moss greens for an earthy palette, or charcoal rock tones for definition. This quiet, versatile blender supports quilts, home décor and accessories with elegant restraint and long-lasting usefulness.
