Seasonal Basics Fabric Collection - Gingham Purple

Soft lavender checks give Gingham Purple a sweet, homespun feel that slips beautifully into spring, Easter, Halloween, and everyday sewing. The white background keeps the small gingham pattern fresh and airy, while the purple lines add just enough color for a gentle, polished accent. This print is especially useful for quilt borders, binding, sashing, basket liners, aprons, children’s projects, and handmade décor that needs structure without a busy motif. Its classic checkered layout pairs easily with florals, bunnies, ghosts, pumpkins, and seasonal novelty prints, making it a flexible blender for many collections. Calm, charming, and easy to love, this fabric adds a soft cottage-style finish to your project.

For best results, machine wash cold on a delicate cycle with mild detergent, tumble dry low and remove promptly; do not bleach. Fabrics are 100% cotton, and all quilting cotton will shrink 3-5% on average when washed.
