Product Description
Lichen Poppy from the Heima by Gudrun Erla for Andover Fabrics
Poppy-orange ground with delicate lichen linework
Lichen Poppy brings a confident hit of warm colour to the Heima palette. Layers of poppy orange, ember and soft terracotta are overlaid with meandering, fine lichen tracery—an elegant small-scale motif that reads almost solid from a distance while offering organic movement up close. True to the spirit of Heima, where the textures and hues of Iceland’s landscape shape a feeling of home, this shade suggests volcanic warmth against cool light. As a red-orange quilting cotton, it offers clear value contrast without harshness, acting as a versatile textured blender for modern piecing and traditional blocks alike. Use it to lift autumn palettes, to add warmth to wintry schemes, or to echo berry and leaf tones in nature-inspired designs. Naturally integrated long-tail phrases include: poppy orange quilting cotton UK, lichen texture quilting blender, Scandinavian red-orange cotton print, Iceland-inspired quilting fabric for modern patchwork.
Lichen Poppy is excellent for star points and flying geese, tidy sashing that links mixed palettes, or bindings that finish a quilt with quiet detail. In home décor sewing, it brings a welcoming note to cushions, table runners, placemats and fabric baskets—striking on its own or paired with crisp neutrals. Bag makers will appreciate how the fine linework curves neatly around seams and complements antique brass, nickel or matte black hardware on zipped 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: cool Glacier Ice or Waterfall for clarity, Basalt and Ash greys for definition, Mallard greens for an earthy balance, or the dark Rhyolite for depth. Whether you’re piecing a contemporary throw, refreshing kitchen textiles or adding a bright lining to a handmade bag, this poppy-orange textured blender offers colour, texture and season-spanning versatility without overpowering your design.
