Seasonal quilts don’t have to be festooned with pumpkins and leaves to bring that warm autumn feeling into your home.
We love the new Butternut & Sage collection by Fig Tree & Company for Moda Fabrics United Notions for its rich, earthy palette, vintage-inspired prints, and cozy, collected feel. It says fall in a way that can stay on the sofa long after the season changes.
Come see Butternut & Sage in person at Thimbles in Lockport, Illinois, and start dreaming up your next quilt!
