Chestnut is the rich brown colorway of the wood-ring print in Pine and Peak Flannel by Robert Kaufman Fabrics. Rounds that resemble sliced logs are printed in layered browns and tans, so the fabric looks like a stack of firewood seen end-on. It’s warm, rustic, and grounded.
That deep brown makes Chestnut a workhorse in a cabin quilt. Use it for blocks that need a medium-dark value, for a sturdy border, or for binding that won’t show campfire smudges. It’s also a natural for lumberjack-style lounge pants, a rugged throw for the truck or the deck, and gifts for anyone who loves woodworking or the outdoors.
This is 100% cotton flannel, 42" wide, 5 oz per square yard, with a 12" repeat (part number SRKF-24283-342). The same design is available in Tan and Acorn for a light, medium, and bright set. Chestnut also pairs well with Riverbed and Earth, the darkest colorways in the collection, and with the green Pine tree print for classic forest contrast. Many sewists prewash flannel before cutting, since it can shrink more than standard quilting cotton.
