All About Basics: Prints

We love basics. Solids will always hold a special place in our hearts, but we cant help but obsess over all of the fun, bright, colorful prints that surround us every day! We think that adding a dot, a stripe or a chevron to your project can give it that extra something. It can turn a plain top into something hip. It can add that pop of color that you didn’t know you were missing. Incorporate prints into your projects (and stash) and keep them feeling fresh, fun and colorful.

Our best selling printed basics are Robert Kaufman’s Spot On, Ann Kelle’s Remix and Riley Blake’s Chevrons. These three groups fly off our shelves and wind up in trendy quilts and projects. Here are the top ten sellers of each of these groups. If you see something you like, just click the link and add some to your stash.
