Chartreuse Candy Stripe Quilting Cotton – 1/8 Inch Ticking Stripe Fabric by the Yard

Chartreuse candy stripe quilting cotton — fresh chartreuse green and cream for a bright pop.

Finish your quilts with the crisp charm of candy stripe quilting cotton — a fine 1/8 inch ticking stripe.

A narrow stripe is one of the most useful fabrics in any stash. It reads as a soft texture from across the room and as a tidy, classic stripe up close, so it sits happily beside florals, nursery prints and cheater quilt panels without competing with them. Cut it on the bias for a striped barber-pole binding, or use it straight for sashing, borders and backing.
