Creme de la Crayon Fabrics by August Ellery

Artistic Floral Fabric for Quilting and Sewing

Crème de la Crayon by August Ellery brings the charm of a well-loved sketchbook to your sewing with expressive florals, petite blooms, hand-drawn checks, and delicate botanical motifs. The illustrated designs have an artistic, collected feel, combining playful details with a timeless sense of style. These quilting cottons are a lovely choice for quilters who enjoy mixing distinctive prints with coordinating patterns.

Use the larger floral prints to create focal points in your quilt, then incorporate petite blooms and hand-drawn checks for contrast and balance. The varied print scales make it easy to build an interesting patchwork design while maintaining a cohesive look throughout your project.

Explore our floral fabrics and quilting fabrics for more inspiration and coordinating prints.

Pink, Red, Blue, and Olive Green Fabric

Crème de la Crayon features a distinctive palette of saturated pinks and reds, dusky blues, and olive green. These rich, artistic colors create a beautifully collected look, offering plenty of possibilities for mixing and matching prints across quilts and other sewing projects. Two distinct color stories provide contrast while maintaining the collection's cohesive style.

Combine pink and red floral fabrics for a bold, expressive look, or bring in dusky blue and olive green for added depth and balance. You can also choose prints from complementary color stories to create a layered design with a variety of tones and patterns. Check individual fabric listings to see the exact colors and print details available in each design.

Browse our pink fabrics, along with additional floral and botanical prints, to find coordinating fabrics for your next project.

Coordinate Floral Prints with Hand-Drawn Checks

One of the appealing features of Crème de la Crayon is the combination of expressive florals and smaller coordinating prints. Petite blooms and hand-drawn checks provide a visual break from the larger botanical designs, helping you create a balanced fabric combination without losing the collection's artistic character.

For a patchwork quilt, alternate floral blocks with checked prints to add variety throughout the design. Use smaller motifs for sashing, borders, or pieced sections, and reserve larger florals for blocks where their illustrated details can stand out. These coordinating prints also work well alongside solid quilting cottons when you want to give the patterned fabrics more room to shine.
