Whales Navy features a scatter of light blue whales swimming across a deep navy background, with tiny white dots sprinkled between them. The print is part of Love You to the Moon Flannel, designed by Echo Park Paper Co. for Riley Blake Designs.
The whales face in different directions, so the print looks right from any angle. That makes cutting easier, because you don’t need to worry about whales ending up upside down in blocks or on the back of a blanket. The two-color look keeps the print calm. The dark navy background also hides everyday wear well on items that get a lot of use.
Use it for kids’ pajama pants, toddler blankets, burp cloths, or a cozy quilt back. In a quilt with lighter prints, it adds depth and contrast in borders or alternating blocks. It coordinates naturally with Nighttime Navy, Whales Powder, and Gingham Blue from the same collection, giving you an easy ocean-and-sky mix for a nursery. As with most cotton flannel, prewash before cutting.
