Wildrose is a dusty mauve rose 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.
This soft, muted pink has a romantic, vintage feel. It’s a lovely backing for floral and cottage quilts, shabby-chic designs, and grown-up pink palettes, and it pairs beautifully with sage, cream, gray, and plum on the front. It’s also a thoughtful choice for comfort and memory quilts.
Cuddle is also popular for pillows, apparel, baby blankets, and stuffed animals. Compare Wildrose with Elderberry for a dustier purple and Blossom for a brighter pink. If you’re new to minky, a walking foot and plenty of clips help keep the plush layer from creeping.
