Product Description
Lichen Rhubarb from the Heima by Gudrun Erla for Andover Fabrics
Deep rhubarb red with fine lichen tracery
Lichen Rhubarb brings a grounded, berry-red warmth to the Heima palette. A network of delicate linework meanders across layered tones of rhubarb, cranberry and soft claret, echoing lichen spreading over cooled lava. The motif is small and even, reading almost solid from a distance yet adding gentle movement up close—a refined textured blender that sits comfortably in contemporary and traditional patchwork. True to the collection’s spirit—home shaped by the Icelandic landscape—this shade pairs naturally with glacier blues, moss greens, basalt greys and earthy browns, offering structure, contrast and a distinctly Nordic calm. As a red quilting cotton it provides depth without glare, ideal where a confident value is needed but print noise must stay restrained. Thoughtful long-tail phrases woven naturally include: red quilting cotton UK, lichen texture quilting blender, Scandinavian red cotton print, nature-inspired quilting fabric.
Use Lichen Rhubarb for star points, flying geese and sashing, for borders that frame with quiet definition, or as a smart binding that tidies mixed palettes. It’s elegant in home décor sewing—cushions, table runners, placemats and fabric baskets—and lends subtle seasonal warmth to winter projects without tipping into novelty. Bag makers will appreciate how the fine tracery curves cleanly around seams and complements antique brass, nickel or matte black hardware 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, combine with other Heima prints: cool Glacier Ice and Waterfall for clarity, Basalt greys for definition, or earthy Saddle for a balanced, landscape-inspired palette. This versatile textured red supports patchwork & quilting, home décor, bag making and textile art with an understated, nature-led aesthetic that will work across seasons.
