Notion of the Month: Color Cards


It's Notion of the Month time! This month we have selected our basic Color Cards: Bella Solids, Kona Cotton SolidsCotton Couture Solids and Art Gallery Basics.


Any quilter will tell you that solids are a necessity for a quilt! A modern-leaning quilter will no doubt back me up here (hello, We Love Color!). Here’s another prime example from Pile O Fabric.

While sometimes solids get to play a starring role, more often than not they are relegated to backgrounds and accents. Nonetheless, they are crucial. A background color can determine the mood of your quilt, and you can make or break any fantastic print with the right or wrong solids.

Fabric companies have definitely taken note and responded with an overwhelming mass of solids in every color and hue imaginable, with even more on the way! Moda’s Bellas, Robert Kaufman’s Konas, Michael Miller’s Couton Couture, Art Gallery's Elements… the list goes on. (Fun tidbit: you can see all the different solid lines we carry on our Basics page!)

With hundreds of different colors and shades, how is one to choose?
