Pairing with Solids and Other Prints
The Ivory Whisper background with the damask medallion motif pairs well with soft pastels, muted grays, and deeper jewel tones. For a classic look, combine it with a solid cream or ivory. For contrast, try a dusty rose, sage green, or navy blue. The filigree design also complements other prints from the Posh collection, such as coordinating stripes or florals.
Cutting and Layout Tips for Medallion Quilts
When using a large-scale print like the Filigree Damask Medallion, consider these approaches to make the most of the design.
- Center the motif: Cut a square or rectangle that places the medallion in the center of your block. This works well for a medallion-style quilt where the focal print is the star.
- Use as a border: Cut strips along the repeat to create a continuous border. The damask pattern adds an elegant frame without overwhelming the quilt.
- Mix with smaller prints: Pair with smaller-scale prints or solids to let the damask medallion stand out. Avoid busy patterns that compete with the filigree detail.
Project Ideas to Try
This fabric is ideal for a table runner, wall hanging, or throw pillow where the medallion can be showcased. For a larger quilt, use it as the center block of a medallion layout or as a repeating block in a grid. The Ivory Whisper colorway also makes a lovely background for appliqué projects.
