Lavender is a soft lavender from Shannon Fabrics’ Cuddle Extra Wide line. It’s a solid minky with a plush 3mm pile, made from 100% polyester, and 90" wide, so many quilt backs can be cut in one piece.
Gentle and dreamy, this pastel purple is a favorite for nursery quilts, girls’ rooms, and baby shower gifts. It pairs beautifully with soft pinks, mint, gray, and white on the front, and it adds a sweet, calming finish to floral and spring quilts.
Cuddle is also popular for baby blankets and accessories, stuffed animals, pillows, and apparel. Compare Lavender with Elderberry for a dustier purple and Plumwine for a deep plum. If you’re sewing with minky for the first time, a walking foot and a slightly longer stitch help it feed evenly.
