What to Look For
Fabric Type and Project Fit
Quilting cotton is a reliable choice for patchwork and crafts, while softer, drapier fabrics work better for garments. Always check the fiber content and care instructions before you cut.
Coordinating Prints
Mix a solid or tone-on-tone purple fabric with a bolder print to add depth without overwhelming your design. Pulling several shades into one quilt creates a lovely ombré effect.
