Product Description
Smooth Sailing DeepDive from the Floral Reef by Tula Pink for Free Spirit
Retro Ocean Waves in Vibrant Reef Colours
Smooth Sailing DeepDive is a bold and rhythmically playful quilting cotton from Tula Pink’s vibrant Floral Reef collection for Free Spirit. Featuring flowing vertical wave stripes in an energetic palette of lime green, aqua, lavender, navy, violet, coral, peach, and vivid pink, this design captures the movement of rolling ocean currents with a distinctly retro twist. The repeating undulating lines create a lively sense of motion across the fabric, giving it a graphic yet fluid appearance that feels both contemporary and delightfully nostalgic.
The carefully balanced rainbow palette makes this print especially versatile for modern patchwork and statement sewing projects. The repeating wavy stripes can be used to create movement in quilt borders, striking bindings, dynamic bag panels, playful garment accents, and eye-catching quilt backings. Depending on how the fabric is cut, the vertical flow can appear structured and orderly or wonderfully psychedelic and freeform, making it a particularly fun choice for creative piecing and colour-focused quilt designs.
Printed on premium 100% cotton quilting fabric with an approximate weight of 145gsm, Smooth Sailing DeepDive has a smooth, high-quality finish suitable for patchwork quilting, accessories, bag making, textile arts, and contemporary home décor sewing. Pair it with tonal blenders and coordinating marine-inspired prints from the Floral Reef collection to create quilts and sewing projects filled with colour, rhythm, and tropical reef energy. It works particularly well alongside bold florals, fish prints, and geometric coordinates for layered modern compositions.
Perfect for makers searching for striped quilting fabric, wavy rainbow cotton fabric, retro-inspired quilting cotton, or Tula Pink fabric in the UK, Smooth Sailing DeepDive brings playful movement and saturated ocean colour to a wide range of creative sewing projects.
