Always By My Side Fabric Collection - Ball

Crisp cream circles scatter across a soft blue background, giving this print the playful look of bouncing tennis balls in motion. The Ball design brings a fresh, sporty touch to dog-themed sewing projects while still working beautifully as a versatile coordinating print. Its simple two-color palette makes it easy to pair with busier novelty fabrics, text prints, paw motifs, and warm neutral accents. The medium-scale dots add energy without overwhelming a quilt block, border, bag, pillow, or pet accessory. Whether used as a blender or given more room to shine, this print adds a cheerful pop of color with a subtle nod to a favorite game of fetch.

For best results, machine wash cold on a normal cycle with mild detergent, tumble dry medium and remove promptly; Use only non-chlorine bleach. Pre-washing is recommended. *Fabrics are not recommended for children's sleepwear.
