Product Description
Petal Chain Thistle from the Wildflower Cottage by Renee Nanneman for Andover Fabrics
Thistle purple ground with golden petal chain stripes
Petal Chain Thistle combines vintage inspiration with a structured repeat that feels elegant and refined. A muted thistle-purple ground forms the base, overlaid with vertical chains of stylised petals in shades of golden yellow, buttercream and soft taupe, linked with fine dots and diamond motifs. The result is a striped floral that brings rhythm and balance while retaining the collection’s cottage garden aesthetic. Designed by Renee Nanneman for Andover Fabrics, this fabric echoes trellised borders and ordered paths within the Wildflower Cottage story, offering makers a versatile print for both classic and contemporary projects. In quilts, Petal Chain Thistle is perfect for borders, sashing and block accents where a vertical repeat creates structure. It also makes a sophisticated choice for quilt backing or binding, adding subtle detail and depth. For home décor sewing, its tailored stripe is well-suited to table runners, cushion covers, curtains and lampshades, where it delivers understated pattern and colour. Bag makers will find it useful for tote exteriors, linings and organisers, where the stripe accentuates form and creates visual interest. Seasonal projects also benefit: autumn runners, spring decorations and handmade gifts gain polish from its harmonious palette. Made from 100% cotton at 145gsm, it presses crisply, handles smoothly, and sews with ease, making it suitable for hand and machine quilting alike. To build a cohesive look, pair Petal Chain Thistle with other fabrics from the Wildflower Cottage collection—lavender purples and buttercup yellows enhance its floral tones, while pewter greys and linen neutrals ground the palette. Whether you’re piecing a quilt, refreshing home décor or crafting accessories, this thistle-purple floral stripe offers timeless structure, versatility and elegance.
