Watercolor Oyster Shell Preppy Fabric | Coastal Decor | Swatches, Fat Quarters & Fabric by the Yard

This rainbow oyster shell fabric features hand-painted brushstroke textures in bold beachy tones — a perfect mix of modern art and coastal charm. With layered pinks, teals, corals, and navy hues, this vibrant design is great for summer apparel, bags, table decor, or coastal-themed quilts.

Available in swatches, fat quarters, and by the yard across multiple fabric types.

Because of the digital printing method, darker and more intricate designs can use more ink, which may affect the fabric’s feel initially. However, any stiffness should ease after a few washes!
