Cerise is a vivid magenta from Shannon Fabrics’ Cuddle Extra Wide line. It’s a solid minky with a plush 3mm pile, made from 100% polyester, and 90" wide, so one length can back many quilts.

Bold and joyful, this saturated pink-purple brings energy to the back of a quilt. It’s a favorite for girls’ and teen quilts, bright modern and rainbow designs, and celebration throws, and it pairs well with lime, turquoise, black, and white on the front.

Cuddle is also great for apparel, stuffed animals, pillows, and fun blankets. Compare Cerise with Hot Pink for a softer pink and Berry for a deeper plum. If you’re sewing with minky for the first time, a walking foot and plenty of pins or clips help keep the layers aligned.
