Suzanne in Oxford Blue is a delicate ditsy floral from Denim & Daisy by Lori Holt of Bee in My Bonnet for Riley Blake Designs. Tiny light-blue sprigs are scattered across a deep Oxford navy background, adding soft texture to the collection’s darkest blue. It’s 100% cotton quilting fabric.
Dark, small-scale florals are some of the most useful fabrics in a quilt. Use Suzanne Oxford Blue as a dark value in scrappy blocks, for borders that frame lighter centers, or as a rich binding. From a distance it reads almost as a textured navy, so it pairs easily with larger prints.
Pair it with Gingham and Flowers Oxford Blue for a coordinated navy set, or with golden prints like Daisies and Casserole Daisy for the collection’s classic blue-and-yellow contrast. It’s also a great choice for bags and table runners, since darker prints hide wear.
