Cool, smoky, and effortlessly modern, this dark blender is the fabric equivalent of a perfect shadow. Fresh Blends Slate layers charcoal, graphite, and soft black in a textured brushstroke pattern that adds grit and movement—like storm clouds or brushed stone. It's fantastic for grounding bright colors, adding contrast to pastels, or creating sleek, high-impact backgrounds that still have visual interest up close. Try it for dramatic sashing, moody quilt backs, contemporary bags, or any project that needs a strong neutral with a little artistic edge.

For best results, machine wash cold on a delicate cycle with mild detergent, tumble dry low and remove promptly; do not bleach. Pre-washing is recommended. *Fabrics are not recommended for children's sleepwear.

Color lovers, this one is for you. The Fresh Blends Fabric Collection, designed by Kimberly Einmo for Benartex, is a vibrant lineup of saturated blender prints bursting with movement and life. Printed on 100% cotton and measuring approximately 44" wide, these fabrics feature layered brushstroke textures that create depth, dimension, and a subtle sense of motion. Each colorway—from juicy citrus tones and lush greens to moody blues, rich purples, and warm neutrals—offers beautiful tonal variation with an unexpected glimmer of accent color tucked among the strokes. The painterly pattern gives every shade a dynamic, almost luminous quality, keeping it from ever feeling flat. It's a cohesive yet diverse palette that invites you to mix, match, and explore.

Using blender prints to create quilts and textile projects is perfect because the design possibilities are endless. Fresh Blends are subtle enough to blend with florals, geometrics, and novelty prints, yet bold enough to stand entirely on their own in modern quilts, striking borders, and eye-catching quilt backs. The textured brushstroke motif adds visual interest to negative space, sashing, and background areas, giving your projects depth without overwhelming your focal fabrics. These prints are equally at home in patchwork, bags, home décor accents, and apparel sewing. Whether you're building a monochromatic masterpiece or a high-contrast color story, this innovative collection of scrumptious, saturated blenders delivers exquisite texture and vibrancy. Fresh Blends truly lives up to its name—fresh, expressive, and ready to energize your next creation.
