Product Description
Planting Red from the Laundry Line by Laundry Basket Quilts for Andover Fabrics
Tiny Sprigs and Seeds in Warm Country Reds
Planting Red is a charming ditsy-style quilting cotton from the Laundry Line collection by Laundry Basket Quilts for Andover Fabrics. This delicate print features tiny seed-like sprigs scattered evenly across a soft cream background, each motif rendered in warm shades of rustic red and soft coral. The miniature scale and gentle spacing of the design create a light, airy feel that adds subtle texture without overwhelming the fabrics overall calm appearance. The result is a beautifully balanced print that evokes the simple rhythm of seeds being sown across a countryside field.
The small-scale motif makes Planting Red particularly versatile for patchwork and quilting projects. It works wonderfully as a background or supporting print within quilt blocks, providing just enough detail to add interest while allowing larger patterns to remain the focus. The soft cream ground helps brighten quilt layouts, while the warm red tones tie beautifully into traditional quilt palettes featuring rustic reds, moss greens, deep blues, and warm neutrals from the Laundry Line collection.
Beyond quilting, this refined cotton print is ideal for a variety of sewing projects including cushions, table runners, tote bags, and fabric accessories. The delicate ditsy motif lends itself especially well to projects that benefit from a gentle, country-inspired aesthetic. Made from 100% cotton quilting fabric with a weight of approximately 145gsm, it offers the smooth finish, durability, and easy handling that sewists expect from high-quality quilting cotton.
Pair Planting Red with other prints and coordinating blenders from the Laundry Line collection to build cohesive patchwork palettes. Its subtle pattern works particularly well alongside floral vines and geometric prints, helping to balance more detailed fabrics while maintaining a harmonious quilt design.
