Salute
We salute Andover’s fresh take on patriotic with this star-studded collection. Blue Star Circle is clearly the star of this grouping accompanied by Red and Blue Star Vine prints. The small print lights, White Star Arrow and White Dotted Maze would make excellent background fabrics for any Quilt of Valor.

Dimples colors
Subtle nuances in color with each Dimple print make them the perfect blender. Some of your favorite colors are back in stock. Check out all of the Dimples here.

108”
After the time and effort spent to create a quilt top, shouldn’t the quilt back be just as beautiful? 108” Wild Wander Lichen Stone by Windham combines subtle colors in a soothing natural flow so that you can flow effortlessly from the front to the back of your quilt.

Tilda’s Exploding Heart
Thank you Susan R. for sharing your beautiful Exploding Heart quilt made with Tilda fabrics. We liked it so much that we created a kit using Tilda fabrics in a violet colorway. All fabric for the top and binding, as well as the pattern, are included in the kit. We recommend Garden Vista Iris for the backing fabric (sold separately).
