Product Description
Skies in Blue from the Hill Shine by Robert Kaufman
Soft clouded skies with gentle movement and airy light
Skies in Blue is a calm, atmospheric cotton print that captures the quiet beauty of open skies. Part of the Hill Shine collection by Robert Kaufman, this design features softly blended clouds in pale blue, aqua, and misty white, scattered with delicate bird silhouettes and tiny flecks of warm golden yellow. The effect is light, spacious, and soothing, offering visual interest while remaining subtle and versatile.
The cloud-like background creates a gentle sense of depth and movement, making this fabric an excellent choice for patchwork and quilting projects where a softer, more open feel is desired. It works beautifully as a background fabric, allowing pieced blocks and stronger prints to stand out, or as a calming feature in quilts inspired by nature, travel, or seasonal themes. The scattered birds add a playful yet refined detail that rewards closer viewing without overwhelming a design.
For home décor sewing, Skies in Blue lends itself well to cushions, table runners, and lightweight throws, bringing a feeling of freshness and light into interior spaces. Bag makers and accessory sewists will appreciate its subtle patterning, which adds interest to project bags, pouches, and linings without competing with bolder exterior fabrics. Within the Hill Shine collection, this print pairs effortlessly with the wave, tree, and mountain designs, acting as a visual resting point that balances stronger colours and motifs.
Printed on high-quality 100% cotton with a weight of 145gsm, this fabric has a smooth hand and reliable structure suitable for quilting, patchwork, and a wide range of craft sewing projects. Whether used as a background, blender, or gentle feature print, Skies in Blue offers versatility, calm colour, and a timeless sense of openness, making it a valuable addition to any modern quilting palette.
