Fossil Fern fabrics are immediately recognizable by the “splash design” & multi-shaded colors. Benartex has manufactured Fossil Ferns since 2006 & they have become an all time favorite among Quilters, Crafters & Sewers. They are perfect Blender fabrics that come in literally 100’s of different colors….but, all with the same, unique design. These are “staple” fabrics…. which means they are always available….however, occasionally Benartex does “retire” certain colors. Why are they called Fossil Ferns, you ask? Seed Ferns, are some of the most common plants in the Carboniferous coal forests. They are often preserved as intricate carbon films/designs & are prized by fossil plant collectors. The name comes from the fact that they had fern like foliage. The design in the Fossil Fern fabrics is a depiction of these ancient fossil fern plant impressions in the rocks. 528 - 17 Mirage Fossil Fern Fabric Blender Cosmic Blue/Gray Mauve Cranberry Quilt Shop Quality 100% Cotton B T Y #
