Check Mates by Anna Maria Textiles for Northcott — Gameboard – Thicket

Rich, moody, and quietly mesmerizing — Gameboard in Thicket is one of the most distinctive colourways in the Check Mates collection by Anna Maria Textiles for Northcott. Tiny alternating squares of periwinkle-blue and warm burgundy-mauve interlock across the fabric in the classic Gameboard check arrangement, rendered with Anna Maria’s signature woven, linen-like texture. The interplay between the cool blue and warm purple tones creates a rich, almost iridescent depth — the kind of colour that shifts subtly in different lights and rewards a second look every time.

Gameboard – Thicket reads as a deep, complex tonal near-solid from a distance — moody and sophisticated — and reveals its intricate two-tone check structure up close. It’s the blender that adds depth and mystery to any palette, and a natural partner for blues, purples, mauves, burgundies, and dusty neutrals.
