Aqua is water in fabric form — light, calm, and easy to live with. The dusty aquas here are especially useful: grayed just enough to behave like a soft neutral. You'll find solids, tonal blenders in cotton and flannel, Kim Diehl's Witley Court prints, and matching wide backing.

Frequently Asked Questions
What colors go with aqua in a quilt?+
Aqua and coral is one of quilting's great pairings — warm meets cool and both look better for it. Aqua also loves gray, white, and navy for a coastal palette, or red for a cheerful retro look.
Who is Kim Diehl?+
Kim Diehl is a quilt designer known for her warm, scrappy 'Simple Whatnots' style rooted in traditional quilting. Her fabric collections favor rich, gently aged colors that mix beautifully in scrap quilts.
What does 'dusty' mean in a fabric color?+
A dusty shade has gray mixed in, softening the color so it reads muted and vintage rather than bright. Dusty aqua works in far more palettes than a clear bright aqua because it doesn't compete.
