Cardinal is a bright cardinal red from Shannon Fabrics’ Cuddle Extra Wide line. It’s a solid minky with a plush 3mm pile, made from 100% polyester, and 90" wide, so one length can back many quilts.
Bold and festive like its namesake bird, this vivid red is a natural for Christmas and Valentine’s Day quilts, patriotic designs, and team throws. It pairs beautifully with green, cream, navy, and white on the front.
Cuddle is also great for holiday throws, stockings, pillows, and apparel. Compare Cardinal with Scarlet for a similar true red and Crimson for a deeper shade. If you’re sewing with minky for the first time, a walking foot and plenty of clips help keep the layers aligned.
