French Wash by Marcus Fabrics

Sophisticated Color & Subtle Texture

French Wash by Marcus Fabrics is a beautiful basic designed by Dawn Heese to add depth, color, and subtle texture to your projects. Its soft, cloud-like appearance gives each color dimension while maintaining the versatility of a great blender.

Use French Wash alongside prints from your favorite collections, or combine multiple colors to create a project where texture and color take center stage.

A Beautiful Palette for Every Project

With an extensive range of colors, French Wash makes it easy to find just the right coordinate. Explore avocado, blue, brick, brown, charcoal, cream, gray, green, lilac, navy, olive, pink, purple, red, teal, tan, sepia, seafoam, sage, yellow, and more.

From soft neutrals and gentle pastels to earthy greens, rich blues, and jewel tones, this extensive palette offers plenty of possibilities for mixing, matching, and adding beautiful contrast to quilts and sewing projects.

A Basic You’ll Reach for Again & Again

The beauty of French Wash is its versatility. The subtle variation in its cloud-like texture gives it more visual interest than a solid while remaining quiet enough to complement florals, novelty prints, traditional fabrics, and other statement designs.

Use French Wash fabric for backgrounds, borders, bindings, quilt blocks, appliqué, or anywhere you need a sophisticated coordinate that adds color and dimension without overwhelming your design.
