The Desert Cactus Green
Glide 60618 Prickly Pear is named for one of the most iconic desert plants — the specific warm, slightly grey-yellow-green of prickly pear cactus. On Southwestern and desert fabric collections, and any quilt where green should feel distinctly arid and desert-warm, Prickly Pear provides the most authentic integration.
