Product Description
Luminous Butterflies in Blue by Nutex
A vibrant flutter of colour against a fresh blue sky
Luminous Butterflies in Blue by Nutex is a joyful, eye-catching cotton print that celebrates movement, colour, and light. Set against a clear, soft blue background, this design features a lively scattering of butterflies in an array of radiant hues, including turquoise, teal, coral, pink, lime, violet, and golden yellow. Each butterfly is illustrated with painterly detail, giving the fabric a sense of depth and gentle motion while maintaining a balanced, all-over layout ideal for cutting and piecing.
The colour palette feels fresh and uplifting, making this fabric especially well suited to spring and summer quilting projects, children’s quilts, and cheerful statement pieces. The varied scale of the butterflies adds visual interest without overwhelming the design, allowing it to work beautifully as a feature fabric in patchwork quilts or as a standout choice for quilt borders and backing. When paired with coordinating blenders or tone-on-tone prints, the butterflies truly come to life.
Beyond quilting, Luminous Butterflies in Blue lends itself effortlessly to home décor sewing. It works well for cushion covers, bag making, table runners, or wall hangings where colour and movement are welcome. For bag making and accessories, this cotton print adds personality to tote bags, project bags, zip pouches, and fabric baskets, offering a bright, optimistic finish that stands out while remaining versatile.
Printed on 100% cotton with a smooth handle and a weight of 145gsm, this fabric is easy to cut, press, and sew, making it suitable for both confident beginners and experienced makers. The high-quality cotton ensures good durability while maintaining a soft drape, ideal for general craft sewing and textile arts. For a cohesive look, pair this butterfly print with solids or subtle textures from the same Nutex collection, pulling out key colours such as aqua, teal, or coral to create harmony across your project.
