Product Description
Snails on Aqua from In The Forest Collection by Nutex
Woodland snails, oak leaves and tiny forest treasures in soft watercolour tones
Snails on Aqua from the In The Forest collection by Nutex is a charming woodland print filled with softly illustrated snails making their way among scattered oak leaves, acorns, berries and tiny forest details. Set against a fresh pale aqua background, the design combines muted shades of moss and olive green, dusty pink, mauve, warm brown, ochre and touches of soft blue.
The watercolour-style artwork gives each motif gentle variation and texture, creating a print that feels whimsical without becoming overly juvenile. Snails appear in a mixture of sizes and poses, with beautifully detailed spiral shells nestled amongst autumnal leaves and smaller botanical elements. The scattered, multidirectional layout makes this woodland quilting fabric particularly versatile for patchwork, as motifs can be enjoyed from different angles without an obvious top or bottom.
Printed on 100% cotton with a weight of approximately 145gsm, Snails on Aqua is well suited to patchwork and quilting, bag making, accessories, cushions and other home décor sewing. The individual snails and larger leaves also offer plenty of opportunities for fussy cutting, making them lovely additions to English paper piecing, feature blocks or small appliqué-style details.
Its gentle palette would work particularly well for woodland quilts, nature-inspired projects, children's makes and autumn sewing without restricting the fabric to a single season. Pair it with coordinating prints from the In The Forest collection to develop the woodland theme, or combine it with aqua, sage, ochre, dusty pink and warm neutral blenders to pick out individual colours within the design.
For projects needing a playful nature print with plenty of detail, this aqua snail quilting cotton brings together woodland character, soft colour and an appealing hand-painted feel.
