Fabric Collection
Faux Linen Tonals is a collection of linen-look tonal blender quilting cottons sold through Connecting Threads, with 27 colorways available from $9.56. Shades include Fawn, Brown, Merlot, Scarlet, Black, Charcoal, Grey, Silver, Navy, Night, French Blue, and Glacier.
Linen's flecked, woven look is beautiful in a quilt, but real linen can be shifty to piece — these give you the texture in a well-behaved quilting cotton. The palette skews sophisticated: grays from Silver to Charcoal, blues from Glacier to Night, plus grounding shades like Fawn, Merlot, and Scarlet.

It's 100% quilting cotton printed with linen's characteristic flecked, woven texture — so you get the natural, rustic look without linen's stretch, fray, and shrinkage. It pieces and presses exactly like any other quilting cotton.
A calm, neutral-leaning range: Fawn, Brown, Merlot, and Scarlet on the warm side; Black, Charcoal, Grey, and Silver in the middle; and Navy, Night, French Blue, and Glacier for the blues.
Add it to your stash or tag it in a project so other quilters can see it in action.
