Garden Dalliance – Quilting Cotton – Posy – Berry

Posy Berry brings the collection's berry color to its posy print. Garden Dalliance, Shelley Cavanna's collection for Benartex, is inspired by Regency-era English gardens, and berry is one of the botanical colors she set against the collection's deep indigo grounds.

Berry appears in three Garden Dalliance prints: Posy, Quadrille and Pressed Petals. That makes Posy Berry a good way to repeat a strong accent color across a quilt. Use it in the centers of star or flower blocks, as an inner border, or in alternating blocks with Posy Indigo for clear contrast.

Shelley created the collection to accompany her book, Garden Dalliance Sampler (C&T Publishing, 2026), which pairs quilt blocks with cross-stitch projects. If you're joining the Rosemere 12-month block-of-the-month from Cora's Quilts, an accent like Posy Berry helps tie a year's worth of blocks together when they are finally set into a quilt.

Beyond quilts, Posy Berry is a natural for pillow covers, gift bags, and the lining of a project bag, where a bright interior makes small items easier to find.
