The Deepest Blue in the Grunge Wideback Family
Moda Blue Cobalt Grunge 108-inch wideback is the richest blue available in the Moda Grunge wideback line -- a deep, saturated cobalt with the intensity of royal blue that commands attention even as a backing fabric. The tone-on-tone Grunge texture adds visual sophistication, and the 108-inch width provides seamless queen coverage in 100% cotton that finishes beautifully. For quilts where the backing blue should be as vivid and bold as the most saturated blue in the quilt top, Cobalt Grunge is the option no lighter blue can replicate.
Cobalt vs. Blue Grunge vs. Blue Cosmic Grunge
The three blue Grunge widebacks form a complete light-to-deep blue backing system: Blue Cosmic Grunge for soft, atmospheric medium-light sky blue; Blue Grunge for medium-to-deep true blue; Blue Cobalt Grunge for deep, rich, vivid cobalt. Together they cover every blue quilt backing need from delicate coastal to bold jewel-tone. Cobalt is the choice when neither of the lighter blues provides enough saturation and depth for the specific quilt top.
