Together is Better - Lion Panel (36”) - Soft Gray - by Hannah Dale - Maywood Studio - Quilting Cotton Fabric

There's a gentleness to Hannah Dale's work that's hard to put into words, but Together is Better manages it beautifully anyway. Best known for her watercolour animal illustrations under the Wrendale Designs name, Hannah brings that same soft, storybook charm to fabric here, teaming up with Maywood Studio to create a collection built around one simple idea: that everything's better with company.

Elephants lean into each other. Lions curl up close. A whole cast of gentle creatures sits shoulder to shoulder across the fabric, painted in Hannah's unmistakable watercolour hand — a little wobbly at the edges in exactly the way that makes it feel handmade, even in print. It's warm without being saccharine, and detailed without ever feeling busy.

The collection includes two panels (36" x 44"), giving you different options to use the panels as a centerpiece or to cut them to make smaller highlights in your quilt, alongside coordinating tossed-print yardage to build the rest of your project around it.

Made from 100% natural cotton, this fabric is durable and built to last through years of use — and unlike synthetic fabrics, it's biodegradable at the end of its life, breaking down naturally rather than persisting in landfill for centuries. A renewable, longer-lasting choice both while you're using it and long after.
