Riley Blake's Twilight Creatures catches the forest at the hour the owls take over — woodland animals, tossed acorns and trail markers in a dusky palette of storm gray, songbird blue, mint and ice. It's woodland fabric with the saturation turned down and the mood turned up, and it makes the gentlest nursery and camp quilts in the shop. All prints run $12.80 per yard.
The Prints at Linda's

How I'd Use It
The dusky palette is this collection's superpower: it's woodland without the usual orange-and-brown, so it pairs with gray, navy and mint solids straight off your shelf. For a baby quilt, big simple patches of the Main Ice with Acorn Toss alternates and a Trail Markers border is done in a day and photographs like a storybook. The Owl in Flight print fussy-cuts beautifully for cushion centers and zipper-pouch fronts. Backing in a gray Cuddle minky turns any of these into the naptime favorite.
Frequently Asked Questions
Is Twilight Creatures gender-neutral for a nursery?
Very — the storm, mint, songbird blue and ice palette is one of the most neutral woodland stories Riley Blake has printed. It pairs equally well with blush or navy accents.
What solids coordinate with this collection?
Cool grays, soft mint, slate blue and warm white. Riley Blake Confetti Cottons in those families match nearly dye-for-dye.
How much fabric for a baby quilt from this line?
A simple patchwork crib quilt takes about half a yard each of five prints plus 1.5 yards for backing and binding — one online order covers it.
