The Colour of Fire
Glide 91505 Blaze is the hot, vivid red-orange of fire in full blaze — positioned at the maximum-vivid end of the red-orange family alongside Firestorm and Tango. More red-shifted than Tangerine, hotter in character than Candy Apple, Blaze is the most direct and evocative Glide choice for art quilts, fire-themed designs, and any project where red-orange should read as genuinely, powerfully hot and vivid.

Frequently Asked Questions
How does Blaze differ from Firestorm?
Both live in the flame family, but Firestorm carries slightly more red depth while Blaze holds a brighter, more orange-forward heat. In flame-gradient quilting, Blaze covers the bright mid-flame band with Firestorm beneath it and a yellow like Marigold at the flame tips.
Is Blaze too intense for autumn quilts?
Not for bold ones — on saturated maple-red and vivid foliage prints, Blaze matches intensity that a standard orange cannot. For quieter autumn palettes with muted rusts and browns, Autumn or Spice Brown will integrate more naturally.
What palette builds a fire effect entirely in Glide?
Layer from Imperial Red or Cardinal at the base, through Firestorm and Blaze in the body of the flame, to Tangerine and Marigold at the tips, finishing with Lemon for the hottest highlights. Consistent 40wt Glide across the gradient keeps sheen and tension identical through every colour change.
