So Many Solids

Many fabric brands are now carrying their own solid fabrics to work with the other fabrics in their lines of quilting cottons.   I think it’s a brilliant idea.  However, not all solid fabrics are the same weight, texture, feel, etc.

Christie F found this article from “Stitched in Color” and thought it would be good to share with the rest of our readers. In this blog, Rachel Hauser lists the different solid fabric lines and compares them with each other.  It’s an informative article, and we think you’ll find it helpful. Just click the button below to read it.

Rachel wrote this comparison in 2021, and since then, more lines of solid fabrics have been added to the quilting universe.  This article will get you started and help you learn what you need to look for when choosing your solid fabric line.

Purchasing a “card” of swatches of all fabrics included in a solid quilting cotton line might be helpful to you.  You can easily find them online; or I have found that the Hawthorne Supply Co carries a nice cross section of cards.

What solid fabric line have you seen that isn’t listed in this article?  Do you have favorite solids that are your go-to when you’re planning your next quilt or project? Have you purchased any cards?  Let us know in the comments below.  We all will appreciate your input!
