RILEY BLAKE - Awakening von Cherry Guidry - Garden's Promise - Pear

I used this pear-toned print as the backing for a baby quilt, and the 44-inch width meant I didn't have to piece it. The cotton held up perfectly after a hot wash—no shrinkage or fading at all.

The hand-feel of this 100% cotton is what sold me—it's got that crisp, smooth body that presses beautifully without any slippery fuss. The pear tones are softer in person than on screen, more muted and elegant, exactly what I needed for a spring quilt backing.

The pear colorway in this line is so much softer in person than on screen—it reads almost like a muted sage but still pops against lighter prints. I’ve already cut into a fat quarter for a quilt backing and the weave stayed perfectly stable through the machine.
