Northcott - Soar by Deborah Edwards & Melanie Samra

Light, airy and beautifully painterly, this print from Soar by Deborah Edwards and Melanie Samra for Northcott sends watercolour feathers drifting across a soft sky-blue background. The large feathers are washed in teal, slate blue, dusty lavender and sage green, with fine quills and wispy, feathery edges. Around them, watercolour blooms with darker tide-mark edges, fine ink spatters and soft circles of light add depth, while little flocks of navy birds wing their way across the fabric.

With its large-scale feathers and dreamy colours, this fabric makes a lovely feature print. Use it for wide borders, big blocks and quilt backs, or fussy-cut the feathers for cushions, bags and wall hangings. It’s a natural fit for nature-inspired quilts, bird lovers’ projects and calm coastal colour schemes, and the cool blue tones make it a great choice for quilts for men too. It pairs beautifully with navy, slate and teal blenders, soft greys and sage greens, or with crisp white for a fresh, light look.

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.
