Product Description
X Toss Umber from the Moody Hues Collection by Nancy Rink for Andover Fabrics
A Softly Textured Neutral with a Gentle Cross Motif
X Toss Umber is a quietly sophisticated blender print featuring a delicate scatter of tiny cross motifs arranged across a warm cream background. Each small cross appears in subtle tonal variations of umber and taupe, creating a softly textured effect that reads almost like a woven pattern from a distance. The design brings gentle movement and visual interest while maintaining the calm, understated quality that makes neutral fabrics so valuable in patchwork and quilting.
This elegant cross motif quilting cotton works beautifully as a background fabric, sashing, or filler print in quilt blocks, helping to balance larger prints and deeper colours within the Moody Hues collection. The scale of the design makes it especially useful for intricate patchwork, where smaller patterns maintain clarity within pieced blocks. The warm umber tones blend naturally with earthy palettes, pairing effortlessly with richer browns, soft blues, muted greens, and other tonal fabrics from the collection.
Beyond quilting, X Toss Umber is equally well suited to a variety of sewing projects. Its subtle texture makes it an excellent choice for bag linings, zip pouches, cushion covers, table runners, and other home décor sewing where a refined neutral is desired. Made from 100% cotton quilting fabric with a weight of 145gsm, it offers the smooth finish and dependable structure expected from premium Andover Fabrics cotton.
As part of the Moody Hues collection by Nancy Rink for Andover Fabrics, this fabric reflects the collection’s thoughtful exploration of tonal colour and classic design. Combine it with the collection’s deeper shades and coordinating prints to build beautifully layered quilts with warmth, depth, and subtle texture.
