Follow the winding trail of these oversized pebbles toward your next design destination, their earthy hues of beige, tan, brown, gray, and yellow guiding the way. With a smooth hand, supple drape, and no stretch, this 108-inch-wide fabric is crafted for intricate quilt work—a stable weave and silky finish are perfect for anything from classic piecework and wholecloth quilting to appliqués and art quilts to English paper piecing—yet it effortlessly lends itself to lightweight home décor, craft, and fashion projects, too. Plus, the extra-wide width is perfect for backing bed-size quilts with ease, no piecing required.

Whether you’re designing breezy shift dresses, gathered patchwork skirts, or crisp button-downs and shorts, this fabric brings a touch of elegance to every stitch—or dream bigger with flowing floor-length gowns or sharply tailored jackets and trousers, perfect for an evening out. Slightly translucent, a lining is recommended for added opacity and a refined finish.
