Best Fabrics: 12 of Our Favorite Fat Quarter Fabric Designs

Little House on the Prairie Fabric

This beautiful fabric collection from Andover Fabrics features three lines within Little House on the Prairie: Prairie Flowers, Scenics and Icons, and Walnut Grove. From the review: Prairie Flowers is the largest of the three Little House on the Prairie Fabric Lines and the patterns are just darling! In fact, no matter your level of affection for the books or TV show, these floral prints should appeal to everyone! The Scenics and Icons fabrics are perfect for those tried-and-true fans of the series! Several prints within this bundle have Little House on the Prairie logos on them, and all of the fabrics have a lovely neutral beige background. Last but not least, the Walnut Grove collection is a beautiful bundle in shades of brown, red, orange, and gray. I love this color scheme! It can work for an autumnal project but also serves as a lovely country set of designs for year-round use. Read the full review here.

Green With Envy Fabric Bundle

Say hello to your stunning new quilting project when you start with the gorgeous Green With Envy Fabric Bundle. This collection from Camelot Fabrics features eighteen different prints in coordinating shades of blue, gray, and of course, green! Not only do the colors coordinate in a manner that is pleasing to the eye, but the prints coordinate in unique ways, too! The prints are at once floral and geometric, organic and modern. While one fat quarter may feature a pattern of smattered leaves, another features hexagons. While one print looks like dandelion pollen, another features a chevron design. Read the full review here.

Chicopee Fabric Collection

Denyse Schmidt designed Chicopee with her memories of her school years in Massachusetts in mind, drawing inspiration from her favorite television shows and celebrities of the 1970s. Many of the prints and colors are drawn from fashion and art from that era, giving the line a distinctive retro feel. The 26 fabrics of Chicopee are divided into two different color schemes, focusing on warm and cool shades. Read the full review here.

GeoCentric Canvas Fabric

GeoCentric Canvas from Cloud9 Fabrics is a crisp, modern fabric line that combines bold graphic designs, saturated colors, and touchable organic cotton canvas for a collection of home decor fabrics you'll be eager to use in your next project! My favorite part about this line is that each of the fabrics relies on the simplicity of a one-color background and a geometric cream-colored print. While the colors are vibrant and rich, they are not harsh or fluorescent. The creamy canvas foundation of the fabrics give each color a muted depth that lends itself to sophisticated home decor.

Downton Abbey Fabric Bundles

Among all the fat quarter fabrics to choose from, I particularly like the Downton Abbey Lord & Lady, Downstairs, and Lady Rose collections. The Lady Rose features bright pinks, purples and blues giving a nice warm vibe. The Downstairs fabrics are floral and feminine. Half of the fabric bundle are Old World designs and relate to the older characters of the show, while the other half of the bundle is more bright and colorful for the younger characters of the show.

Ombre Dots and Lola Textures Pre-Cuts from Quilting Treasures

The Ombre Dots and Lola Textures fabric designs from Quilting Treasures commit fully to that celebration. The Ombre Dots slide sweetly from deep, bold shades into lighter tones, creating a sense of depth and movement in each piece of fabric. They are perfect for both accent fabric, in a binding or as bright strips against a neutral background, and as the background for dark-toned accents. Read the rull review here.

Modern Home Collection

Modern Home is a whimsical celebration of the domestic with a retro feel and a palette of bright, cheerful reds, greens, and blues. Sophisticated prints in geometric patterns mingle with playful prints featuring an unexpected surprise llamas! Llamas peeking out of windows and hiding under lampshades give this collection its silly whimsy. Read the full review here.

Safari Drive Fabric Bundle

Being a mom of two young growing girls, I have quickly realized just how fast they grow out of things. Not that I mind buying new clothes or shoes, because let's face it, baby things are super cute. However, it can become quite pricey, especially when you have more than one child. Luckily I've been brushing up on my sewing and quilting skills, so when looking for new fabrics I came across the Safari Drive Collection from Studio e, I about fainted. I immediately started planning all the projects I was going to make with this fabric; this fabric truly is the icing on the cake. Read the full review here.

Just Color! Fabric

With hypnotizing swirls and a vibrant variety of hues, the Just Color! Fabric from Studio e will surely make any quilt even more aesthetically pleasing and mesmerizing. The complement created between the lush primary and secondary colors creates a refreshing look that suits both classic and contemporary designs. This fabric collection is the best of both worlds beautiful colors that easily match basic schemes that also have that perfect hint of artistry in the patterns within it. Read the full review here.

Circa 52

Circa 52 is a playful collection of 10 organic cotton fabrics in shades of yellow, blue, orange, gray, and a few touches of red. The line ranges from folksy woodland scenes to futuristic outer space motifs, maintaining a retro feel throughout. Circa 52 draws on graphic midcentury style, combining a variety of prints that can be incorporated in either kid's quilts or more adult patterns. The backbone of the collection is made up of 6 medium-scale prints against solid color backgrounds. Though each of these fabrics incorporates a touch of whimsy, they are all sophisticated enough to be included in any quilt. Read the full review here.

Madhuri Fabric Collection

Travel to the a new world filled with luscious colors and beautiful nature all without having to leave your home. With Riley Blake's newest line, Madhuri, you can create a quilt like nothing anyone has ever seen before simply with the use of these Indian-inspired prints. This fabric bundle seemed to have been designed with every quilter in mind! Not everyone likes bright, floral patterns, not everyone likes prints, and some find solid material to be plain and boring. You'll never have to worry about this with the Madhuri line, because it includes a little bit of everything with a Middle Eastern spin with a beauty that uniquely stands out amongst other quilt patterns.
