Product Description
Spin in Mint from the Alabaster Hues by Vanessa Lillrose & Linda Fitch for Robert Kaufman
Fresh mint tones with softly swirling botanical texture
Spin in Mint brings a fresh, contemporary lift to the Alabaster Hues collection, combining a gentle mint green ground with finely layered, swirling botanical forms. The design is made up of softly radiating petal-like marks that overlap and drift across the surface, creating movement and texture without forming a dominant motif. This subtle complexity gives the fabric a calm, modern energy that works beautifully as a supporting print.
The mint palette is light and refreshing, sitting comfortably between green and blue, and offering a cool, airy alternative to traditional neutrals. It works particularly well as a low-volume option for quilt backgrounds, sashing, and secondary blocks, adding colour while remaining understated. The swirling pattern introduces depth and gentle motion, making it ideal for balancing more structured piecing or offsetting bolder focal fabrics within a quilt design.
For home décor sewing, Spin in Mint lends itself to projects that benefit from a soft sense of movement and texture. It is well suited to cushion covers, table runners, fabric baskets, and light furnishings where the subtle pattern enhances the overall design without overwhelming a space. In bag making and accessories, this mint quilting cotton works equally well for exteriors or linings, adding a clean, contemporary feel to tote bags, project bags, and zip pouches.
Printed on 100% cotton with a weight of 145gsm, Spin in Mint offers a smooth, stable hand that is easy to work with for precision piecing, applique, and general craft sewing. Designed by Vanessa Lillrose & Linda Fitch for Robert Kaufman, it coordinates effortlessly with the rest of the Alabaster Hues collection. Pair it with soft florals, white-on-white prints, or warmer blush and lavender tones from the range to create layered quilts and sewing projects that feel fresh, cohesive, and thoughtfully balanced.
