Autumn de POParazzi de Riley Blake Designs

I was worried the tiny squares might look too busy, but once I started cutting, the tonal pattern blended perfectly for a subtle texture. The fabric handled beautifully through my machine with minimal fraying, and it pressed into crisp seams for my quilt blocks.

The little tone-on-tone squares read as a solid from across the room but add just enough texture up close—my quilt top has that subtle depth I was hoping for without any busyness. It pressed beautifully and didn't shift while piecing, which is a win in my book.

The tiny tone-on-tone squares give this fabric a really lovely texture without being busy, which makes it so easy to mix into a quilt. I’ve already used it for a couple of throw pillows and the hand-feel is soft enough that I’m tempted to make a shirt with it next.
