Product Description
Sweets Scarlet from the Peppermint Twist by Robert Kaufman Fabrics by Robert Kaufman Fabrics for Robert Kaufman Fabrics
Scarlet ditsy of gold metallic snowflakes and peppermint swirls
Sweets Scarlet is a luminous festive blender that adds sparkle and contrast without stealing the show. On a vivid scarlet ground, tiny peppermint swirls and starry snowflakes scatter in a lively all-over ditsy, each motif picked out in radiant metallic gold. Printed in Japan—renowned for beautifully crisp metallic work—the detail is clean and refined, giving this premium 100% cotton quilting fabric (145gsm) a polished, light-catching finish. It presses flat, pieces accurately and delivers the smooth handle makers love for patchwork, home décor and accessories.
Small-scale prints earn their keep across a project. Use Sweets Scarlet to frame feature blocks, lift borders and sashing, or build rich scrappy backgrounds where a hint of shimmer adds depth. It’s an excellent choice for Christmas stars, nine-patches and flying geese, and brings a candlelit glow to table runners, placemats and napkins. For quick makes, try stockings, reusable gift wrap and bottle bags; in bag making, it shines as zipper pouches, project bags and linings, where the metallic flecks peek from seams and pockets. The classic red-and-gold palette bridges traditional holiday pairings and modern schemes alike, offering a dependable pop of colour and glimmer.
For cohesive coordination, pair Sweets Scarlet with other fabrics from the Peppermint Twist collection. Balance its texture with the flowing stripe of “Ribbon Candy”, add greenery with “Peppermint Holly” or “Peppermint Sprigs”, introduce structure with “Geo Trees”, and layer tonal depth using “Feathers”. It also teams effortlessly with solids and blenders—think holly and pine greens, vanilla and warm ivory, or onyx for dramatic contrast. Whether you’re assembling a statement throw for the sofa, planning a coordinated table set, or sewing giftable accessories, this metallic Christmas quilting cotton offers sparkle, versatility and year-round stash value. A go-to festive ditsy for patchwork & quilting, home décor, bag making and general craft sewing.
