Product Description
Sweets Black from the Peppermint Twist by Robert Kaufman Fabrics by Robert Kaufman Fabrics for Robert Kaufman Fabrics
Black ditsy of gold metallic snowflakes and peppermint swirls
Sweets Black is a sophisticated festive blender: a midnight ground scattered with tiny peppermint swirls and starry snowflakes, each motif picked out in radiant metallic gold. Printed in Japan—celebrated for beautifully crisp metallic work—this premium 100% cotton quilting fabric (145gsm) has a smooth handle, presses neatly and is easy to piece for accurate patchwork.
Use this small-scale print wherever you need sparkle and contrast: frame feature blocks, build rich scrappy backgrounds, or add shimmer to stars, nine-patches and borders. It’s a winning choice for Christmas table runners, placemats and napkins, lending a candlelit glow to evening settings. For accessories, try zipper pouches, project bags and tote linings—the metallic accents catch the light without overpowering your main prints. The versatile black-and-gold palette bridges traditional and modern schemes, making it a reliable staple for holiday quilting and year-round gift sewing.
For a coordinated look, mix Sweets Black with other designs from the Peppermint Twist collection: pair with “Peppermint Holly” for classic greenery and berries, add movement with “Ribbon Candy”, or soften with tonal “Feathers”. It also plays beautifully with solid blenders and low volumes for crisp contrast. Whether you’re planning a striking tree skirt, reusable gift bags or a throw quilt for the sofa, this metallic Christmas quilting cotton brings depth, texture and festive polish to your makes.
