Just beneath the surface of calm coastal waters, a fascinating underwater world begins to unfold. Marine Life Neutral features graceful sea creatures—crabs, sea turtles, delicate coral, and curling seahorses—arranged across a soft sandy background. The gentle mix of blues, warm neutrals, and natural ocean tones creates a design that feels like a quiet moment exploring tide pools and shallow reefs. This fabric brings wonderful character to quilts with a seaside theme, especially when used as a focal fabric where the marine illustrations can really shine. It's also a charming choice for beach-inspired décor, children's quilts, tote bags, or wall hangings that celebrate the beauty and curiosity of life beneath the waves.

Bring the refreshing spirit of the shoreline into your sewing room with the Coastal Escape fabric collection, designed by Nicole DeCamp for Benartex. This charming collection captures the feeling of a relaxing day by the sea—where sailboats drift across the water, lighthouses stand tall against the horizon, and beach chairs wait patiently in the sand for the next sunset. Soft ocean blues, sandy neutrals, and weathered driftwood tones weave throughout the designs, creating a palette that feels as calm and inviting as a gentle coastal breeze. Seashells, seagulls, coral branches, and peaceful seaside landscapes appear across the fabrics like treasures gathered during a long walk along the shore, turning every yard into a little slice of seaside paradise.

Printed on 100% cotton fabric measuring approximately 44" wide, the Coastal Escape collection offers a wonderful variety of prints—from nautical plaids and maritime stripes to detailed shells and scenic shoreline illustrations.

Together, these fabrics invite endless creative possibilities. Piece together a breezy beach-themed quilt, sew decorative pillows for a coastal cottage, or craft tote bags ready for a day by the water.
