Forest is a deep forest green from Shannon Fabrics’ Cuddle Extra Wide line, a solid minky with a plush 3mm pile. It’s 100% polyester and 90" wide, so many quilt backs can be cut in a single piece.
This dark, rich green is a classic backing for cabin and lodge quilts, Christmas and holiday designs, and outdoor, National Parks, and wildlife themes. It also hides everyday wear well, making it practical for throws and pet beds, and its deep color looks especially handsome behind flannel and buffalo-plaid quilts.
Cuddle is also great for pillows, apparel, stuffed animals, and baby blankets. Pair Forest with quilts in red, cream, plaid, and gold for a cozy cabin look. Compare it with Emerald for a brighter jewel tone and Kelly for a cheerful green. A walking foot and extra clips make minky much easier to sew.
