Favorite from The Whole Country Caboodle: Bubble Dot Basics White – Henry Glass & Co.
Sometimes the most useful fabrics in a quilt shop are the subtle ones, and Bubble Dot Basics White from The Whole Country Caboodle is a perfect example.
This playful blender fabric features small bubble dots in varying sizes, creating just enough texture and movement to add interest without overwhelming your quilt design. It’s an excellent choice for quilt backgrounds, appliqué projects, and coordinating fabrics.
Many quilters enjoy using Bubble Dot Basics with The Whole Country Caboodle appliqué patterns, but it also works beautifully in patchwork quilts, children’s quilts, and scrappy projects where you want a soft background print instead of a solid fabric.
