The Wildflower Blue
Glide 80120 Cornflower is the specific clear, slightly purple-influenced blue of cornflower blossoms — one of the most beloved wildflower colours in quilting. Positioned between sky blue and periwinkle, it has the natural, unforced quality of a wildflower in a summer meadow. For botanical quilts, wildflower fabric collections, and romantic garden designs, Cornflower is the most authentic natural-blue thread.
