Blue Purple Gold 100% Combed Cotton Fabric by the Yard - Soft Quilting

In this review of Texco's Blue Purple Gold printed cotton, the bottom line is simple: crafters who want soft, durable quilting cotton for detailed projects will appreciate this fabric. The reviewer found the 100% combed cotton feels noticeably smoother than standard quilting cotton, and the print detail reads clearly across the yardage. With a 44in width and a medium-thin 150 gsm weight, it suits quilts, clothing panels, and small home-decor projects where precision stitching and a stable, no-stretch fabric are important.

Key Features

• 100% Combed Cotton: The combed fibers remove short strands and impurities for a smoother hand and improved durability compared to regular cotton.
• Medium-thin 150 gsm weight: The fabric balances softness with structure, making it easy to sew while still strong enough for everyday use.
• No stretch: A stable weave ensures seams hold their shape and prints align predictably for quilting and pattern matching.
• 44in width: A standard usable width that accommodates many quilt blocks, garment panels, and home-decor cuts without excessive piecing.
• Versatile uses: Suitable for quilts, baby blankets, tote bags, pillow covers, table runners, and other DIY projects requiring breathable material.

Who It's For

This fabric is best for quilters, hobby sewists, and makers who need a soft, reliable cotton with clear printed detail and a stable weave. The smooth hand from combed cotton makes it a good choice for baby quilts, garment accents, and visible home-decor pieces where texture and print clarity matter.

Those who need heavyweight upholstery cloth, four-way stretch knits, or very heavy drapery fabric should look elsewhere; this is a medium-light quilting cotton with no stretch and is not intended for heavy structural upholstery or stretch-dependent garments.

Pros & Cons

Pros

• Soft, smooth feel from the combing process makes it pleasant to handle and gentle for baby items.

Cons

• Medium-thin 150 gsm weight may feel light for users expecting a heavier quilters cotton or durability for heavy-use upholstery.
• Color and texture may vary slightly due to monitor and lighting differences, so exact match is not guaranteed.
