Northcott - Cedarcrest Falls Light Teal Light Trees by Deborah Edwards & Melanie Samra

Soft, misty and full of quiet movement, this print from Cedarcrest Falls by Deborah Edwards and Melanie Samra for Northcott layers watercolour trees and foliage in shades of light teal. Leafy branches, fern-like fronds and rounded tree canopies overlap in seafoam, aqua, sage green and dusty slate blue, with touches of deep teal and the occasional wash of soft blush. Fine branch lines, batik-style crackle and little flecks of white let the light peek through, giving it the dappled look of a forest on a foggy morning.

Up close it’s full of detail, but from a distance it reads as a soft, textured teal, making it a lovely tonal blender with plenty of character. Use it for backgrounds, borders, sashing and quilt backs, or in larger blocks alongside florals and landscape prints. It’s a natural fit for nature-inspired and landscape quilts, art quilts and calm coastal colour schemes, and the cool blue-green tones make it a good choice for quilts for men too. Pair it with deeper teal and navy blenders, sage greens, soft greys and creams, or add a touch of coral or peach to bring out the blush highlights.

This quality quilting cotton is easy to cut, piece and sew. It’s ideal for patchwork and quilting, cushions, table runners, bags, wall hangings and other sewing and craft projects.
