Product Description
Stretch in White from the Alabaster Hues by Vanessa Lillrose & Linda Fitch for Robert Kaufman
Soft white botanicals with a calm, flowing elegance
Stretch in White is a beautifully understated botanical print that brings gentle movement and quiet texture to the Alabaster Hues collection. Delicate trailing sprigs of leaves, buds, and fine stems drift across a soft white-on-white ground, creating a pattern that feels airy, relaxed, and thoughtfully composed. The fine white linework offers subtle definition without strong contrast, making this an ideal low-volume fabric for balanced, refined designs.
The white palette allows Stretch in White to function as a versatile neutral, perfect for quilt backgrounds, negative space, sashing, and secondary blocks. The flowing botanical motif softens geometric or angular piecing and adds visual interest without overwhelming a layout. It works especially well in modern quilts, low-volume projects, and designs where texture and movement are more important than colour contrast.
Beyond quilting, this floral quilting cotton is well suited to home décor sewing and accessories where understated detail enhances the finished piece. Use it for cushion covers, table runners, fabric wall hangings, or lightweight soft furnishings to create a calm, cohesive look. In bag making and craft sewing, Stretch in White is an excellent choice for linings or subtle exteriors, bringing a clean, botanical feel to project bags, tote bags, and zip pouches.
Printed on 100% cotton with a weight of 145gsm, Stretch in White has a smooth, stable hand that is easy to work with for precision piecing, applique, and general 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 pastels, textured blenders, or bolder feature prints from the range to create quilts and sewing projects that feel calm, cohesive, and elegantly layered.
