This fabric is even more beautiful in person. The blues and greens are so vibrant, making the pattern come to life, mimicking shoreline roiling waters. I was surprised on just how soft the hand was on the fabric. It is a high quality pattern and cotton. I could not be more pleased 😀 This is the quilt backing to a shore themed room. The fabric is so nice, I'm glad I got extra to showcase it on shams and pillows.
