The Sweet Golden Nectar
Glide 80136 Nectar is the warm, sweet golden-amber of flower nectar — a warm, naturally golden yellow-amber with the specific sweetness of botanical production. Between Honey Gold and Butterscotch in warmth, Nectar fills the specific floral-botanical golden position for pollinator and floral quilts where golden thread should feel as naturally warm as a bee's harvest. For brighter celebratory golds, Glide Bright Gold and Glide Medallion step up the shine, while Glide Sunshine covers the clear sunny yellow position.

Frequently Asked Questions
What makes Nectar different from Honey Gold?
Nectar sits slightly lighter and sweeter than Honey Gold — more floral, less resinous. On bee and pollinator prints where the golds are bright and botanical, Nectar blends most naturally; as the fabric deepens toward true honey and amber tones, Honey Gold and Amber take over.
Is Nectar a good choice for bee-themed quilts?
One of the best in the line. Bee and pollinator fabric collections centre on exactly this warm golden-amber, and Nectar's natural sheen mimics the luminous quality of honeycomb. It pairs beautifully with black for classic bee-stripe accent work.
Can Nectar serve sunflower and autumn floral quilts?
Yes — it bridges the sunflower centre-gold and the warm amber of autumn florals. On mixed floral palettes running yellow through gold, Nectar is often the single best blender because it sits at the centre of the botanical gold range.
