MARCUS FABRICS - Franklin House van Dolores Smith - Busset - Bruin

This brown print from the Franklin House line pressed up beautifully with no skipped stitches, and the pattern scale is perfect for cutting small pieces without losing the design. I'm using it for a set of throw pillows and the color is even richer than the online swatch suggested.

Cut a few fat quarters for a baby quilt and the weave is tight enough that edges barely frayed while I was piecing. The brown reads more like a rich cocoa in natural light, which worked perfectly for the pattern. Already planning what to make with the next yard I ordered.

This brown Busset print has a lovely, subtle texture that I didn't expect from the photo—it adds real depth to my quilt blocks. The fabric feels nice and sturdy without being stiff, so it sewed up smoothly. I've already ordered more yardage for a second project.
