Liberty Wiltshire Shadow Fabric | 100% Lasenby Quilting Cotton | Leaf & Berry Blender

Reimagining a classic, Liberty Wiltshire Shadow transforms the iconic 1933 leaf and berry print into a stunning tone-on-tone silhouette. Designed specifically as a “Blender” fabric, this collection offers a monochromatic version of the famous Wiltshire design, making it the perfect subtle background for your quilting and crafting projects.

Printed on Liberty’s premium Lasenby Cotton base, this fabric is woven specifically for quilting. It is slightly heavier and more stable than Tana Lawn, offering a durable, crisp finish that holds a crease perfectly for patchwork.

Why Choose Wiltshire Shadow?

• The Ultimate Blender: The two-colour shadow silhouette provides just enough texture to be interesting without overpowering your main “hero” prints.

• Heritage Design: Features the timeless leaf and berry motif originally designed for Liberty in 1933, bringing vintage charm to modern projects.

• Mix & Match: Available in a multitude of “Shadow” colourways (including Pale Pink, Duck Egg, and Navy) designed to coordinate seamlessly with the vast Liberty archive.

• Quilting Weight: The Lasenby base is robust and stable, making it easier to cut and piece than finer dressmaking lawns.

Ideal Uses

• Low Volume Quilting: The paler shades (like Cream and Pale Pink) are perfect for “Low Volume” backgrounds where you want texture instead of plain white.

• Sashing & Borders: Excellent for framing busy quilt blocks.

• Dressmaking: Suitable for structured garments like tea dresses, shirts, and children’s pinafores.

• Accessories: Sturdy enough for tote bags and zipped pouches.

Expert Sewing Tips for Lasenby Cotton

1. Low Volume Backgrounds: If you are bored of using plain white for your quilt backgrounds, try the Wiltshire Shadow in White/Cream. The subtle berry print hides stains/marks much better than plain solid cotton!

2. Pressing: Lasenby cotton can withstand high heat. Press your seams open or to the side with a hot, dry iron to get perfectly flat quilt blocks.

3. Needle: Use a Universal 80/12 or a Quilting Needle.
