A beautiful quilt starts with beautiful quilt fabric.
To help, we share oodles of new quilt fabrics all over this website to inspire you—to give you ideas—doesn't the prospect of new fabrics just make you drool?!!
Putting ALL those 100% cotton fabrics 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.
If you're hunting for something specific, I've grouped the fabrics in a couple of ways to make it easier for you to find what you thought you saw. Brands, seasonal or holiday, and by fabric type, i.e., batik or flannel.
Or simply settle in and enjoy all the temptations your favorite fabric manufacturers have laid before us.
Click any of the buttons below to navigate to the quilting fabrics quickly.
There are more than 1000 collections of quality 100% cotton quilt fabrics to choose from. The kind you find in your local quilt shop. This number grows weekly.
Summer fabrics are in the shops. Yummy colors and kitschy motifs abound! Christmas and Halloween are coming on strong.
Aren't quilters lucky to have such a fantastic selection to pick from?
I've checked the manufacturers' websites for free patterns available for the quilt fabrics shared.
Those download links go directly to the manufacturer's website if I was successful.
Unfortunately, because I haven't made these patterns, I can't vouch for the accuracy of the directions. That doesn't mean there's a problem. It's just being honest.
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 quilt block, especially if you're committing to a large fabric purchase.
That's good advice here, too.
If I've found a commercial pattern using the fabrics to make the sample, you'll find a link to it included after the fabric's description.
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 provide me with an income to continue to provide all the free content that you enjoy on the Generations Quilt Patterns website.
IF you prefer to purchase from your local shop (if you're lucky enough to still have one), simply take down the fabric line information. Give them a call directly to see if they carry it now or if the new fabrics are on order.
I appreciate your continued support of this site.
Several types of fabric are broken out into special groups because your need for them is so specific.
Find the rest of the fabrics from your favorite brands here.
Throughout the website, you see 'Fabrics to Drool For'.
When you click on a fabric, you see all the patterns, both free and paid, that showcase the quilting fabric in a beautiful quilt or project. There are bigger images of the fabrics, plus customer reviews and the opportunity to shop.
But let's face it. We quilters get distracted so easily.
Ever stand at the cutting table in your local quilt shop and not be able to resist picking from someone else's pile while you're waiting your turn?
More than once? (Raises hand proudly!)
Well, if you got distracted, all those showcased 'To Drool For' fabrics are below, with the most recent at the top of the list.
This list turns over completely every 2-3 weeks. That's a lotta fabric to fondle with your imagination.
Enjoy.
