Soft skies and gentle breezes come to mind the moment you see this print, as if a flock of bright little birds has just taken flight across a warm, sunlit morning. The cheerful blues in Bluebird Ivory sweep gracefully across a creamy yellow background, creating a lively rhythm that feels both uplifting and serene. Each bird has a hand-stenciled charm, with subtle shading and expressive wings that give the pattern a wonderfully spirited motion. The spacious layout keeps the design airy, making it a lovely choice for quilt backs or bedding that you want to be peaceful yet full of personality. Its playful palette pairs beautifully with pastels, brights, or nature-inspired tones, letting you blend it into all kinds of projects. Whether you're finishing a cozy quilt or dreaming up a room refresh, Bluebird adds a touch of freedom and sunshine to every stitch.

The Meadows 108" Wide Quilt Backing collection brings a fresh sense of playfulness to large-scale projects, offering designs that feel both artful and inviting. Each print is rooted in hand-block and stenciled techniques, giving the artwork a warm, organic quality reminiscent of storybook illustrations. Printed on soft, OEKO-TEX certified cotton, the collection features bold motifs that show beautifully on the expansive 108" surface. A mix of sunny yellows, rosy pinks, warm browns, and bright blues makes the palette versatile and easy to pair with a variety of quilt fronts. The generous scale of the designs is especially charming on children's quilts, where the patterns can stretch and breathe across a full bed. Even simple tops take on a new personality when backed with something so expressive. Heather Ross captured the intention perfectly: "I love seeing quilts on kids' beds, all rumpled up and showing their backings," a sentiment that radiates through every print in Meadows.
Each wideback in the collection was created to bring joy to the often overlooked underside of a quilt, turning it into a canvas with just as much character as the front. The seamless width makes it perfect for quilts, duvet covers, and bedding where uninterrupted artwork makes all the difference. Patterns are thoughtfully spaced to feel light and open, giving the designs room to shine without overwhelming the eye. Ponies trotting across bright backgrounds, rabbits bounding through flowers, scattered berries, and bluebirds in flight all bring gentle storytelling to your projects. The colors were chosen to evoke warmth, comfort, and imagination—ideal for nurseries, kids' rooms, and cozy family spaces. Whether the backing peeks out from a folded quilt or steals the spotlight when a bed is unmade, Meadows brings a sense of play and charm to everyday moments. With these designs, the reverse side of a quilt becomes an opportunity for beauty, whimsy, and a little extra magic.
