Product Description
Pansy River Rocks from the Shimmer Collection by Deborah Edwards for Northcott Fabrics
Radiant metallic river stones in jewel-toned pansy purples
Pansy River Rocks is a richly layered metallic print from the Shimmer Collection by Deborah Edwards for Northcott Fabrics, inspired by the smooth, water-worn stones found along a flowing riverbed. The design features a scattering of rounded pebble shapes in varied sizes, layered across vibrant shades of pansy purple, violet, orchid, and amethyst. Subtle metallic gold accents weave through the design, outlining and highlighting the stones with a delicate shimmer that reflects light beautifully across the surface.
The softly blended colours create depth and movement, giving the fabric an almost painterly appearance while maintaining the textured character of a pebble motif. From a distance, the pattern reads like a sophisticated tonal blender, while up close the layered circles reveal intricate detail and metallic sparkle. This makes Pansy River Rocks an excellent choice for quilt backgrounds, borders, and sashing where colour and texture are desired without overpowering pieced designs. The vibrant purple palette also works beautifully in modern quilts, jewel-toned colour schemes, and projects that benefit from a bold yet harmonious fabric.
Printed on premium 100% cotton quilting fabric with a weight of approximately 145gsm, this fabric offers the smooth handle and durability quilters expect from Northcott Fabrics. It performs beautifully in patchwork and quilting while also lending itself well to bag making, cushion covers, table runners, and a wide variety of decorative sewing and craft projects. The organic river rock pattern adds visual interest to larger areas, making it particularly effective for tote bags, quilt borders, and statement quilt blocks.
As part of the Shimmer Collection, this metallic purple quilting cotton pairs effortlessly with the collections coordinating prints and textured blenders. Combine it with other jewel-toned fabrics from the range to create quilts and sewing projects filled with rich colour, layered texture, and a distinctive metallic glow.
