Wineberry is a dusty plum mauve 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 one piece.
Soft and muted with a berry undertone, this grown-up shade has a vintage, romantic feel. It’s a lovely backing for floral and cottage quilts, comfort and memory quilts, and throws in mauve, sage, and cream.
Cuddle is also popular for pillows, apparel, baby blankets, and stuffed animals. Compare Wineberry with Wildrose for a pinker mauve and Elderberry for a softer purple. If you’re new to minky, a walking foot, a slightly longer stitch, and extra clips make it easier to handle.
