Product Description
Lil Shelly Ultraviolet from the Floral Reef by Tula Pink for Free Spirit
Glowing Tropical Shells on Soft Lavender
Lil Shelly Ultraviolet is a playful and richly coloured ocean-inspired quilting cotton from Tula Pink’s vibrant Floral Reef collection for Free Spirit. Set against a soft ultraviolet lavender background, this striking design features an assortment of beautifully illustrated sea shells drifting across the fabric in glowing shades of magenta, pink, violet, aqua, coral, and deep plum. The detailed linework and luminous highlights give each shell a sculptural quality, creating a print that feels both whimsical and sophisticated.
The larger-scale shell motifs are arranged with generous spacing, allowing the artwork to stand out clearly while giving the fabric an airy, modern feel. Spiralled shells, conch forms, and textured reef treasures combine to create a design inspired by collected seaside curiosities and tropical underwater worlds. The soft lavender ground balances the vivid shell colours beautifully, making this fabric especially versatile for quilts, statement bag panels, cushions, accessories, and decorative sewing projects where the motifs can remain visible and intact.
Printed on premium 100% cotton quilting fabric with an approximate weight of 145gsm, Lil Shelly Ultraviolet is suitable for patchwork quilting, bag making, textile art, and home décor sewing. The bold shell motifs also make this fabric ideal for fussy cutting, feature quilt blocks, appliqué details, and playful coastal-inspired patchwork. Pair it with tonal blenders and coordinating marine prints from the Floral Reef collection to create quilts and sewing projects filled with vibrant reef colour and ocean-inspired detail.
Perfect for makers searching for shell quilting fabric, coastal cotton fabric, ocean-inspired quilting cotton, or Tula Pink fabric in the UK, Lil Shelly Ultraviolet brings tropical seaside charm and vivid modern colour to a wide range of creative sewing projects.
