Frequently Asked Questions
What is a tonal or blender fabric?+
A tonal (or blender) is a near-solid: a subtle tone-on-tone texture that reads as a single color from a distance but adds gentle interest up close — more forgiving than a solid, calmer than a print.
Why use blenders in a quilt?+
Blenders bridge your prints and solids, so a scrappy quilt reads as intentional rather than chaotic. They're also ideal for backgrounds and sashing.
What are faux-linen and chambray tonals?+
They're blenders printed to mimic the texture of linen or chambray weave, giving a soft, natural look with the easy handling of quilting cotton.
Used one of these in a quilt?
Add it to your stash or tag it in a project so other quilters can see it in action.
