I love this graphic prints from Billy* Reue's 'Mosaic' collection for FreeSpirit - his designs are something a bit different, with a slightly translucent, painterly effect. This listing is for 'Chandelier Small' in the 'aqua' colourway (first photo - actually, the prints come in only one colourway), with an bold mosaic-like dot and curve pattern, looking like it has been hand painted. There's a large and a medium version of this pattern, in different colourways.
Designed for patchwork, they would also be great for dressmaking and lightweight home dec. This range would add a fantastic hand painted/printed look to your fabrics - they remind me very much of breakdown screenprints. All Billy Reue's designs from his different collections seem to work well with each other.
They would make great coordinates for some of my sashiko panels, and the colours can be matched from my extensive range of sashiko threads - there's a wide range to choose from. Actually, the main shape in this fabric resembles the fundō (scale or balance weights) pattern in sashiko - so maybe it would make a good coordinate!
Storage space constraints meant I couldn't get the whole range, so I have chosen my favourites for you. These are fabrics I have had out on sale at shows, but somehow hadn't managed to get on the website - yet!
*When this print was launched, Billy was designing as 'William Reue' but has changed the name on his collections since. But it is the same person!
