Confetti Cotton™ Merlot Fabric

I grabbed a yard for a quilt backing and was pleasantly surprised by how soft the cotton feels right out of the package. The color is exactly as pictured, a rich merlot that’s perfect for fall projects.

The color payoff is spot-on and the fabric has a nice, soft hand that feels heavier than your average quilting cotton. I grabbed it for a stash-busting project and the solid tones play well together.

The merlot shade is exactly what I was hoping for—deep and rich, not washed out at all. I washed a swatch twice and the color held true, no fading or bleeding. The cotton feels sturdy enough for a quilt top without being stiff.
