Product Description
Lichen Mallard from the Heima by Gudrun Erla for Andover Fabrics
Deep mallard green with delicate lichen tracery
Lichen Mallard captures the rich greens of Iceland’s riverbanks and mossed lava, layered into a calm, modern blender. A network of fine, meandering linework drifts across a deep mallard ground—somewhere between pine, teal and forest—creating a small-scale motif that reads almost solid from a distance but rewards a closer look with organic detail. True to the spirit of Heima, where colour and texture are drawn from land and memory, this shade acts as a versatile anchor in contemporary and traditional patchwork. As a dark green quilting cotton it’s superb for value contrast against lights, while the gentle tracery keeps surfaces lively without visual noise. It sits beautifully with the collection’s glacier blues and basalt greys, and warms readily alongside Saddle browns and Rhubarb reds. Thoughtfully integrated long-tail phrases include: deep green quilting cotton, mallard green cotton print UK, lichen texture quilting blender, Scandinavian quilting fabric, nature-inspired patchwork fabric.
Use Lichen Mallard for star points and flying geese that need depth, for tidy sashing and borders that frame without shouting, or as a smart binding with subtle texture. In home décor sewing, it brings a grounded, Nordic calm to cushions, table runners, placemats and fabric storage. Bag makers will appreciate how the fine motif curves neatly around seams and pairs effortlessly with antique brass, nickel or matte black hardware—ideal for zipped pouches, organisers and structured totes. Printed on premium 100% cotton, width 44"/112cm, weight 145gsm, the cloth sews smoothly, presses crisply and suits both machine and hand quilting. For cohesive results, pair with other Heima prints: cool Glacier Ice or Waterfall for clarity, Basalt and Ash greys for definition, or a pop of Volcano or Rhubarb for energy. Whether you’re building landscape-inspired quilts, Scandi-style home décor or everyday accessories, this mallard green textured blender offers dependable elegance and long-lasting versatility across seasons.
