It is denser and heavier than our Everyday line, closely woven, and it takes a crease and holds a quarter inch seam the way quilting cotton should. This one arrives as a single 5 yard cut, 180 inches long, ready to cut into from wherever you like.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch3\u003eAbout this blue\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eUnderstory is a mid teal. Not the blue of open sky and not navy either, but the blue you get looking into water with trees over it. The leaf pattern is printed a shade or two deeper than the ground, so it never separates into figure and background. Stand back from it and you see a blue that moves slightly. Stand close and you see ferns.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eThat is the whole use of a tonal. It gives you a colour with something going on inside it, without giving you a print that has to be matched, centered or planned around.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch3\u003eWhere this print works\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eA tonal this quiet is the piece of the quilt that holds still while everything else moves. Use it where you want colour without noise: the chain in an \u003cstrong\u003eIrish chain\u003c\/strong\u003e, the dark in a \u003cstrong\u003erail fence\u003c\/strong\u003e, the sashing between blocks, a border, or binding. It has no direction to match and no repeat to line up, so you can cut into it from any edge.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eIt is also the middle value in this collection. Put it between Meadowsweet and Nightwood and you have the three clear steps of light, medium and dark that a chain quilt needs to read.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch3\u003eWhat to put beside it\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eCream and warm white\u003c\/strong\u003e for the cleanest contrast, and the safest place to start\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eNightwood\u003c\/strong\u003e, the deep navy in this same collection, for the dark end\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eSage and olive\u003c\/strong\u003e, which run through the rest of the range\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eOchre and mustard\u003c\/strong\u003e for warmth against a cool blue\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eBlush and dusty rose\u003c\/strong\u003e if you want the blue to feel softer\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\n\u003ch3\u003eGood to know\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e44 inches is the standard width for quilting cotton, which is what this is.
