The Old Penny Copper-Brown
Glide 80132 Penny is the warm, slightly orange-tinted brown of an aged copper penny — more orange than standard warm brown, warmer and more earthy than Light Copper. It occupies the specific copper-warm-brown position in the Glide line for vintage, artisan, and earthy quilts where brown should have the warm, slightly metallic character of aged copper.
