Gingham Orange brings a bright, warm check to Love You to the Moon Flannel, designed by Echo Park Paper Co. for Riley Blake Designs. Orange and white squares form a classic gingham layout, and a softer middle shade appears where the colors cross.
This is the warmest of the gingham colorways in the collection, and it is a strong choice when a quilt needs a pop of warm color. It picks up the orange in Butterflies White, Butterflies Coral, Dots Multi, and Plaid Multi. That makes it a good binding or narrow border to tie those prints together. Cut on the bias, the checks turn diagonal for a lively edge.
This 100% cotton gingham flannel is also a go-to for cozy clothing and home sewing. Try it for pajama pants, kids’ shirts, pillowcases, or a picnic-style throw. When sewing garments, take time to match the checks at side seams and center fronts. Flannel tends to shrink more than quilting cotton, so prewash before you cut.
