To celebrate 50 Years of Moda, Moda Fabrics has released a very special rainbow collection that includes 11 four-in-one width-of-fabric prints featuring designs from 44 Moda designers. In the spirit of celebrating the past, we’ve put together five fun colorway and quilt pattern duos that are sure to spark a bit of nostalgia. We can’t wait to see what you make!
Summer Skies
These beautiful blues and gorgeous greens capture the memory of summer days spent playing yard games with friends and family under big blue skies. Plus, a Half Yard Bundle of Celebrating 50 Years of Moda is the perfect way to fill your stash with endless options for your next picnic blanket project.
Shortcut Quilts are a staple here at Fat Quarter Shop, and the Half Yard Jam Quilt is the perfect pattern to lean into the scrappy feel of the Celebrating 50 Years of Moda collection.
Slumber Party Secrets
Vivid pinks and bold oranges bring up memories of movie marathons, walls covered in posters, flip phones, dance parties, and all things Y2k. We can totally picture a quilt made with these fabrics styled on a blow-up couch or folded up at the foot of a canopy bed. Either way, our favorite CDs are definitely on repeat as we sew up a quick quilt with the Celebrating 50 Years of Moda Jelly Roll.
The Trifles Quilt Pattern by It’s Sew Emma is perfect for beginners and really lets the color choice take center stage.
Early Spring Snow Days
Were you lucky enough to grow up where the world turned white, and you got to stay home from school? This selection of neutrals brings all the cozy vibes of an early spring snow day! If you’re looking to add some versatile neutrals to your stash for the scrappy quilts on your list, snagging yardage from Celebrating 50 Years of Moda is the way to go.
Just imagine how good the Rockin’ Around Quilt will look with this tone-on-tone colorway! So cozy!
Daydreaming
The fun variety of patterns in these blues and neutrals is just as easy to get lost in as your daydreams! Aren’t Moda Fabrics such a dream to quilt up?
Intermediate quilters will love sewing up the free Dreams and Stars pattern! The blocks will really let each pattern shine while still keeping that scrappy feel.
First Love
The thrill of first love is one we will never forget! These reds and pinks remind us of Valentine’s Day chocolate boxes, bows tied around the necks of teddy bears, and glitter jell pens used to sign “xoxo” at the end of a letter. What would be a better gift for the quilter you love today than the Little Wood Box, which comes with a pattern and all the fabric you need to make a 10-inch Mini Pinwheel Quilt?
These lovely hues are on perfect display in the 10″ Mini Pinwheel Quilt pattern that comes in the Little Wood Box that Moda Fabrics made specially for this collection.
What will you make with Moda?
To keep the celebration going, Moda Fabrics is hosting a competition featuring this one-of-a-kind collection! Head over to the Moda Fabrics website for details about the competition.
