Beautiful Sunflowers, Plaids, Stripes, and Coordinating Prints

Sunflower Fabrics and Botanical Prints

Sunflowers are the heart of Sunspell, bringing warmth and personality to quilts and home décor. Combine the larger floral designs with coordinating leaf prints for a beautiful garden-inspired look. Use the sunflower prints as focal fabrics, then add quieter coordinates to let the blooms stand out.

Plaids, Stripes, and Novelty Prints

Charming plaids bring a classic farmhouse feel to Sunspell, while stripes and novelty prints add variety and visual interest. These coordinating fabrics are wonderful for patchwork blocks, decorative borders, table runners, and smaller sewing projects.

Tonals, Marbled, and Mottled Fabrics

Sunspell's tonal, marbled, and mottled prints provide beautiful texture without competing with the larger sunflower designs. Use these versatile fabrics for backgrounds, sashing, borders, and binding, or combine them with the collection's plaids and florals for balanced patchwork.

Sunspell Sunflower Multi-Panel — One Fabric, Many Possibilities

One of the most appealing features of Sunspell is its versatile sunflower multi-panel. Rather than featuring only one large central design, the panel includes multiple decorative images that offer different creative possibilities.

Cut the Panel Apart for Smaller Projects

Use the individual panel designs as focal points for mini wall hangings, placemats, decorative pillows, tote bags, or blocks within a larger quilt. Frame each image with coordinating Sunspell plaids, tonals, or sunflower prints for a beautifully finished appearance.

Keep the Panel Together for a Larger Project

You can also leave the multi-panel intact and make it the centerpiece of a quilt or wall hanging. Add coordinating borders or patchwork to create a larger project while preserving the original arrangement of the artwork.

When planning your project, check the panel dimensions and allow for appropriate seam allowances before cutting.

Sunspell Repeating Multi-Stripe — Beautiful Borders and Accents

The Sunspell Repeating Multi-Stripe 33967-457 by Nancy Mink for Wilmington Prints is another wonderful design feature of this collection.

Its decorative repeating bands make it especially appealing for quilt borders, table runners, placemats, and home décor accents. Use selected stripes to frame a sunflower quilt or incorporate the stripe design into a larger project.

Because the print is directional, consider the stripe orientation when planning your cutting layout.
