Gingham Blue is a classic sky blue and white check from Love You to the Moon Flannel, designed by Echo Park Paper Co. for Riley Blake Designs. The evenly sized squares create a crisp, timeless look that balances the playful moon, whale, and butterfly prints in the collection.
Gingham is one of the most practical coordinates you can add to a nursery quilt. It reads as a calm, structured texture, so it gives the eye a place to rest between busier novelty prints. Cut on the straight grain, it makes neat borders and sashing. Cut on the bias, the checks turn on the diagonal for a lively binding.
This 100% cotton flannel is also a natural choice for clothing and household sewing, such as pajama pants, button-up shirts, crib sheets, pillowcases, and simple throws. For a blue palette, pair it with Whales Powder, Dots Powder, or Nighttime Navy. For a sweet contrast between blue and coral, pair it with Butterflies White. When cutting garments, line up the checks at the seams, and prewash first to account for flannel shrinkage.
