Cotton Blenders Peach, Fabric by the Yard

When buying online the color is never what you think it is. This color was a little lighter and slightly more yellow in tone than expected. A true coffee color is more deep, almost black. And closer to a grey in tone. I was fortunate that this particular brown worked with the batik quilt I was going to use it with. I am finding, however, that the Santee fabrics, while good quality, are off in color. I am never quite sure what I will get. When I bought the charcoal, I ended up with a bluer medium grey, much more blue than grey.So while you are getting good quilting fabric, you must be pretty flexible on your color expectations. These blenders are a surprise.In getting to sew this particular fabric, I noticed that the quality was higher than most fabric I get - even from JoAnnes. This is Northcott quality. Very thick and heavy. I love this type of cotton, it wears well and washes wonderfully. I have some on another quilt and was terrific as a backing. If you are using this for the quilt top, just allow it to be a couple shades lighter. As a back, it is awesome and it shines because the quality of the fabric holds the quilt up to years of use.

I really like this motteled blue denim fabric for the skirts I wear for everyday at home. I washed the fabric before laying out the pattern to allow for any shrinkage. Don't think it shrank much. The color seems stable (no fading). The weight is light to medium, which I like for everyday use. It launders, irons and wears easily. I will most likely buy another color sometime soon. I wear skirts, but it would work well for slacks, jumpers or aprons, as well.

I was little surprised fabric was not soft even though I washed it. But not a problem. Very pretty blue.Would purchased again.

The fabric I received was two pieces that had been stitched together right through the middle of the fabric with a very wide industrial zigzag stitch and plastic threads that is an inch wide. I cannot use this fabric for it’s intended purpose because of this. The stitches were clearly visible through the clear plastic bag it was packaged in. Where is the quality control? Very disappointing.I have ordered a few other colours from this company in the past and I just want to add that it is usually pretty decent quality fabric. This faulty piece is being replaced for no charge via Prime. Because the replacement process was so easy, I will add one more star to my review.AND... please be aware that most of the fabrics are folded INSIDE OUT, inside the packaging. Many reviewers are complaining about colours being much lighter than expected, but I can tell from the photos that it is definitely the WRONG side (back) of the fabric. (Please see my photos for a front/back colour comparison in “Jade”.) The right side of the fabric is much darker and so far all of the fabrics I’ve received have been true to colour. You need to actually open your package and unfold the fabric to see the other side!

This is lovely material. It is a gorgeous blue and is very easy to work with. I highly recommend it. I used it for collars, cuffs, and plackets on a shirt for my husband and myself

I keep a variety of solid colors in my fabric stash, so I can quickly grab and use them when making stuffed animals, wall quilts, purses, and door flags. This fabric is a about as rich a red as I could hope for when needing the perfect red complimentary in projects. Love, love, love it.

The material was easy to work with & loved the color.

A heavy fabric with color printed on and much lighter in color. Not a quality fabric and poorly cut. I do not recommend this fabric.
