New Quilt Fabrics to Drool Over
Which came first? The pattern? Or the fabrics?
This post contains affiliate links for which I receive compensation.
Oodles of new quilt fabrics are shared all over this website to inspire you.
Putting ALL those fabric lines in one spot is helpful—especially when you remember something oh so clearly, but you just don't remember where or what it was called.
Seriously, just TAKE ME TO THE FABRICS...NOW!
In this season of quilt store closings—due either to retirement, the downturn in the economy or pandemic shut-downs—this is a simple way to encourage your interest and enthusiasm for quilting.
These are the designs and colors that have caught me eye perusing all the new exquisite collections from all the major manufacturers.
Aren't we lucky to have such an amazing selection?
What Quilter doesn't love free patterns?
I've checked the manufacturers' websites for any free patterns available for the quilt fabrics shared.
If I was successful, those download links are shared, too, and go directly to the manufacturer's website.
Unfortunately, because I haven't made these patterns, I can't vouch for the accuracy of the directions. That doesn't mean they're bad, that's just being honest.
Most fabric manufacturer's share free quilt patterns just like Moda does here.Make it a habit to check the manufacturer's free pattern page for any updates or corrections to their free offerings BEFORE downloading.
Best practices for us quilters means making a sample block, especially if you're committing to a large fabric purchase.
That's good advice here, too.
Also, if I've found a pattern where the fabric designer uses the fabrics in the line to make the sample quilt, you'll find a link to the commercial pattern (one that if you like it, you have to buy it), so you can see how the fabrics look made up into a quilt.
A word about the link-buttons
Each link to the fabric is a colored button that tells you where the link takes you.
The links to these quilt fabric suppliers are affiliate links, which means I make a small commission on the sale (without any increase in price to you).
These commissions help me continue to provide all the free content that you'll find on the Generations Quilt Patterns website.
IF you prefer to purchase from your local quilt store (if you're lucky enough to still have one) simply take down the fabric line information and give them a call directly to see if they carry it now or the new fabrics are on order.
I thank you for your continued support of this site.
